Pivot Point Sensors Non-Contact
The TCS-605-NC1 and TCS-605-NC0 models are non-contact pivot point sensors that use a linear hall effect device to provide the rotational position indication. The sensor output provides an infinite resolution voltage representation of rotational angle without contact bounce, wear, or wiper noise that is associated with the conventional potentiometer units. |

TCS-605-NC1
- Input voltage: 15VDC
- Output voltage: 0-10VDC
- Ideal for systems where the range of rotary motion from full-up to full-down position is normally maintained within 90°.
The MCS-605-1 and TCS-605-5 pivot point sensors close the feed back loop to the tension control by sensing dancer roll position.
- MCS-605-1 is a single turn potentiometer for normal dancer operating ranges within 60° of arm rotation.
- TCS-605-5 is a five-turn potentiometer for festooned dancer systems.

Load Cell Sensors
These devices are used in tension systems to provide closed loop feedback of the actual tension on the web. |

FM - Foot Mounted
The foot mounted style load cells (used with pillow blocks) provide easy and convenient mounting to the roll that is being measured. It is a strain gauge style unit that is ideal for heavy tension applications.
- Load ratings: 22, 56, 112, 225, 562, 1122, 2248 lbs.
- Sensitivity (output): 1 mV/V at nominal load
- Power Supply: 10 to 15 VDC
ES - End Shaft Mounted
The end shaft style load cells mount to the end of the roll that is being measured. It is a LVDT (Linear Variable Differential Transformer) style which can withstand overloads up to 10 times its rated load capacity. There are several models offered: dead shaft (no bearing), live shaft and cantilever where a single load cell can be used to measure the tension on the roll. Some units are powered with DC voltage and other units are powered with AC voltage. The AC units offer a price advantage over the DC.
- Load Ratings: 20, 50, 90, 200, 500
- Sensitivity (output): 3VDC at nominal load
- Power Supply: ±12 to ±15 VDC, ±5%
