The small tension force sensors of the type KAT were specifically developed for direct measurement of forces acting in cables, wires, ropes, or tapes. They can best be installed in places where the design of the machine already requires the use of deflection rollers or guide rollers. This is e. g. the case in situations such as
- cable making machines
- stranding machines
- foil capacitor manufacturing
- label printing machinery etc.
By using a screw instead of a roller to lead the force into the shaft, the tension sensor KAT can also be used to measure compres-sion forces.
