Tension Sensors

Tension sensors are used to measure a tensile load, force or weight applied on textile yarn, fibre, rope, electrical wire, cable, optical fibre, ribbons, carbon fibre, foils, wraps, webs, etc. They are used for dynamic and static tension measurement of wide-range applications, as well as, OEMs. 

As the load is applied to the tension sensors, the electrical signal changes proportionally that alters the resistance value. The tension sensors use a transducer to convert these values into readable output electrical signals. They are also known as tension load cells.
