Magpowr | Tension Readouts

The new Digital Load Cell Amplifier (DLCA) is a low-cost, yet powerful and versatile DIN rail mounted digital amplifier. Even though the DLCA is compact in size it incorporates ease of use, setup with three push buttons, a four-segment display, fully programmable low pass filter for each output, tension alarm set points, quick and easy calibration, and even weightless load cell calibration.

The DTR-65 is an easy choice when needing a tension displayed on a machine panel with the option to also output a tension reference to a drive or PLC for remotely displaying or controlling tension. A powerful and versatile panel-mounted digital amplifier used to display measured tension locally on a machine panel, the DTR-65 will multiply a millvolt tension signal to a usable 0 to 10 VDC and 4 to 20 mADC analog output. The DTR-65 is an 1/8 DIN panel mount enclosure that is IP65 protected on the face. It incorporates ease of use and setup with a keypad and a four-segment display, fully programmable low pass filter for each output, tension alarm set points, quick and easy calibration, and even weightless load cell calibration.

When performance matters, the TSA Load Cell Amplifiers from MAGPOWR are head and shoulders above the competition, especially in the areas of drift and linear performance. These load cell amplifiers can measure tension in any moving web, wire, or strand. Load cell amplifiers provide power to one or two full- or half-bridge load cells, and amplify the tension measurement signal for display or feedback to any control device. They also allow maximum flexibility in the tension sensing range of any size sensor by providing a gain control range of 8:1 and a tare adjustment of 50 percent of the sensor rating.

Safety is the key to any operation, that’s why the MAGPOWR IS-2 Intrinsically Safe Load Cell Amplifier is so valuable and important. The Model IS-2 amplifier provides intrinsically safe circuitry for UL Listed MAGPOWR load cells. It is specifically designed for safe, accurate measuring and controlling web tension in hazardous locations. When used with UL listed MAGPOWR load cells, the IS-2 is UL approved for Class I, Groups A, B, C and D; Class II, Groups E, F, G and Class III. This allows the load cells to be mounted directly in the hazardous area without air purging. The IS-2 amplifier is compatible with all MAGPOWR UL listed load cells, tension readouts and tension controls.
