Force transducers RCA series

The RCA series force sensor offers compact dimensions and is designed for measuring the tension on moving material webs where deflection rollers with rigid axes are used. Flexible mounting options include the ability to install the force transducer either with four fasteners from the front or with a single fastener from the rear.
