Flange Load Cell For Wire And Cable Tension Measurement

The STAK flange load cell is a compact and reliable force-sensing solution developed for precise tension measurement and control in continuous material handling systems. Manufactured from high-strength alloy steel, this sensor combines excellent durability with stable long-term performance, making it suitable for demanding industrial production environments. The integrated mounting flange enables straightforward installation, while the shaft positioned on the sensing end allows different guide rollers or pulleys to be fitted, providing compatibility with a wide variety of material sizes and profiles. Standard capacities are available in 100N, 200N, 300N, and 500N to accommodate diverse process requirements.

As a high-accuracy tension load cell, the STAK continuously converts mechanical tension forces into measurable electrical signals, enabling operators and control systems to maintain optimal process conditions. Consistent force monitoring helps improve product quality, minimize material waste, and reduce machine downtime caused by excessive or insufficient tension. The sensor is particularly effective in automated production lines where stable material tracking and repeatable process performance are critical.

Typical applications include:

• Wire drawing and wire processing equipment
• Cable manufacturing and rewinding systems
• Textile, yarn, and fabric production lines
• Plastic film and packaging material processing
• Paper converting and printing machinery
• Metal strip, foil, and band handling equipment
• Web handling systems for coating, laminating, and slitting operations

The STAK tension sensor provides fast and accurate feedback for closed-loop control systems, helping maintain uniform tension throughout production. By ensuring smooth material movement, it assists in preventing defects such as wrinkles, tracking errors, stretching, deformation, and material breakage. This results in higher production efficiency, improved product consistency, and lower operating costs.

With more than two decades of experience in strain-gauge-based force measurement technology, LCS TECH also offers customization services for customers with unique installation, capacity, or dimensional requirements. Whether for new machinery or system upgrades, the STAK flange load cell delivers dependable performance for demanding industrial tension monitoring applications.
