Tension Transducers

Tensitron's transducers convert a material's tension into a reliable signal that can be used for remote indication, high speed recording, computer hook-ups, or as input for automatic tension control systems. Shown below are some of Tensitron's standard line of transducers which range from 1/10th gram to 500 lbs. If you don't see a configuration that matches your application requirements, customizing strain gaged transducers is Tensitron's specialty, so please contact us directly. 


 Our Fiber Transducers can be gaged to measure tensions from 1/10th gram up to 5,000 grams over several models.
