1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Model RFA “Ribbon-Filament” Tension Transducer is an electro-mechanical device that converts ribbon,

web, or filament tension into a DC voltage proportional to tension. The voltage is amplified in external electronic

circuitry such as a DFE Tension Amplifier, Indicator or Closed-Loop Controller which is calibrated to output and/or

display actual tension. The tension reading is expressed in pounds, ounces, grams, kilograms, newtons, or any

other desirable units. It can also be supplied to a regulator circuit to control tension automatically.

The RFA Tension Transducer is typically used in applications where the machine has only one side frame and

the idler wheels are cantilevered. The information in this section will help give a clear understanding of the RFA

Tension Transducer system - how it works and how it’s used.

1.1 CONSTRUCTION AND MECHANICAL OPERATION (SEE FIGURE 1)

The standard RFA Transducer wheels are manufactured of aluminum to be lightweight and of low inertia,

and the ribbon wheels and filament wheels are given a hard coat anodized surface finish to be durable.

The bearings are standard deep-groove ball type with shields to discourage entry of contaminants.

Custom wheel geometries and/or finishes are available including those made by the customer to be

mounted on the adapter wheel, subject to specific DFE engineering approval.

Inside the transducer is a single beam having two parallel cantilevered webs with strain gages mounted

on each. When tension is applied, the beam deflects a small amount, causing an electrical output from

the strain gages which is directly proportional to the filament tension.

The bore of the housing acts as a mechanical stop, preventing damage to the beam and gages from

accidental overloads. The stop is functional through 360 degrees, so the overload condition may occur

from any direction, not just the load direction. In all cases, the beam is prevented from deflecting far

enough to cause any damage.

2 INSTALLATION

2.1 DIMENSIONS

Figure 2 – DIMENSIONS

2.2 PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Note: No brakes, clutches, belts, chains, or gears should be attached to the transducer

wheel. It cannot be a nip roll or be in contact with a nip wheel. Nothing must contact the wheel except

the ribbon or filament.

1. TENSION ZONE

The transducer must be located in the tension zone which is to be monitored or controlled. The

beginning or end of any tension zone is always at a nip (driven or braked), unwind shaft, rewind

shaft, or drag bar. Any element in the filament path that can change tension is at one end of a tension

zone.

Figure 3- TENSION ZONES

2. WRAP ANGLE

The web or filament must always contact the transducer wheel in the same way. The wrap angle

must not change as the unwind or rewind reel diameter changes. Therefore, there must be at least

one idler wheel between the transducer and the unwind or rewind shaft. If the machine has more

than one web path, be sure to choose a location that is wrapped the same for each. Otherwise, it will

be necessary to install an additional idler roll or transducer, or dual calibration circuitry, or all three. If

the wrap angle is allowed to change, the transducer output will change with angle as well as tension,

and accuracy will be reduced.

3. MOUNTING SURFACE

The structure on which the transducers are mounted must be very stable and strong. Any

movement of the structure may be sensed by the transducers and may cause inaccurate tension

readings. The surfaces must also be smooth and flat so the transducers can be properly aligned

during installation. The RFA Transducer is sold in three different mounting styles and attached to the

machine frame by one of three methods: A single bolt (S) through the back of the unit, a four-bolt

flange (FL), or a pillow-block type bracket (PB).
