Single-Wheel On-line Tension Sensor 5N 10N 20N 50N

The STAM model is a precision on-line tension sensor engineered for continuous monitoring of dynamic line forces in automated industrial environments. Designed as a reliable online tension transducer, it delivers accurate and stable readings for a wide variety of flexible and moving media. Its robust sensing architecture enables consistent wire tension measurement even under high-speed or fluctuating production conditions. The device adopts a compact single-wheel tension sensor configuration, ensuring smooth material guidance while maintaining signal stability throughout long operating cycles.

Built for versatility, the STAM is widely applied across multiple industries where tension control is critical. Typical applications include wire and cable manufacturing lines, fiber optic cable production, textile and yarn processing systems, fishing line extrusion and winding equipment, battery electrode coating and winding lines, film and foil converting machines, elastic fiber stretching systems, and automated packaging and dispensing equipment. In each case, it ensures precise tension feedback to improve product consistency and reduce breakage or deformation during processing.

The sensor integrates a high-precision guide wheel with optimized geometry, featuring a 27 mm outer diameter and a 20 mm groove profile. A ceramic contact surface enhances durability by significantly reducing friction-related wear, making it suitable for long-term industrial use. The sensing principle relies on radial force transmission through a bearing-supported structure, where variations in material tension and wrap angle are converted into a measurable output signal. This enables highly responsive and repeatable measurements across dynamic production environments.

Available in standard load ranges of 5 N, 10 N, 20 N, and 50 N, the STAM tension feedback sensor can be easily adapted to different process requirements. Whether used for low-tension delicate fibers or higher-force industrial wires, it provides flexible integration options. LCS Tech also supports customized designs, including modified roller dimensions and structural adjustments, with low minimum order quantities starting from a single unit.
