ABB Horizontal Load Cell for Accurate Strip Tension Measurement

In many strip processes, the strip tension naturally creates a horizontal force component on a roll. By design, this force can also be intentionally produced. Measuring strip tension using this horizontal force component offers significant advantages. The ABB horizontal load cell is specifically designed to measure only the strip tension, excluding the tare weight of the roll, resulting in optimized accuracy in your measurements.

One of the major advantages of ABB’s horizontal load cell is its ability to provide superior stiffness levels and higher overload tolerances in all force directions compared to traditional vertical load cells. This results in greater measurement reliability and long-term durability, even in high-stress conditions, ensuring accurate strip tension monitoring in industrial applications.

Choose ABB’s horizontal load cell for precise, reliable, and optimized strip tension measurements, designed for superior performance in demanding strip processing environments.
