Load Cells

We offer you a range of load cells for your specific needs

Load cells for the web processing industry are used to measure static and dynamic compressive or tensile forces acting on the sensors. The function of the load cells, also called force sensors, is to detect the web tension and transmit this force measurement to the control elements. With our precise, versatile and powerful force sensors we cover a wide range of applications for you. Especially for manufacturers of material webs like paper, foils, textiles and non wovens we offer as your professional contact with the modern types of the OWL series high quality makes.

OWL-100 Force Measuring Bearings

OWL-100 series force sensors combine bearing point and measuring sensor. High precision and durability are key features of these compact measuring bearings. They are used for the direct measurement of tensile force in the manufacture and further processing of web-like materials, e.g. paper, foil, film, textiles, non-wovens, etc. Various sizes and nominal force ranges cover a very broad spectrum of different applications at machines for cutting, winding, printing, coating, etc.

OWL-200 Load Cells

OWL-200 load cells are among the latest developments for the web processing industry. They are used at guide rollers with "dead-shaft" construction. Overload stops and a stainless steel construction ensure maximum durability. Load ranges between 25 N and 5000 N as well as different mounting types and sizes are available.

Load Cells OWL-250

This type of the OWL series combines a highly compact design and modular construction with a hollow beam construction in order to pass through the frame of the machine by means of a shaft. As a result, the web path can be adjusted in different positions with one shaft. This load cell is used in many applications and offers great advantages when using existing idler pulleys or belt pulleys.

OWL-300 Load Cells

Designed as compact measuring block, these load cells are ideal for mounting diverse pedestal bearings. Load ranges between 100 N and 50000 N as well as different sizes and mounting types are available. Different versions in aluminium and stainless steel are available. The OWL-300 types are extremely rugged and highly resistant to dirt and moisture.
