Force Measuring Sensors (Load Cells) for Web Tension
All FMS force measuring sensors are characterised by its highest overload protection and its designated accurancy. It's achieved by a mechanical hardstop and four foil-type strain gauges in a full wheatstone bridge configuration. The red point on the outside of the sensor indicates the positive measuring direction.
