ient mounting to the roll that is being measured
(used with pillow blocks). The load cell is a strain
gauge style unit that is ideal for heavy tension
applications. It can be mounted regardless of orientation, but has to work in compression. Only
the perpendicular force (resultant) is measured by
the load cell. The perpendicular force can be at a
maximum permitted angle of +/- 30 degrees.
Correct load cell sizing must be adhered to so
potential overload forces do not damage cells.
Two potentiometers and LED’s are located near
the “D” connector (See Figur
cation. When used in the nominal range, both
LED’s are “ON”. Although the load cell has been
factory calibrated. The unit may be rescaled if
necessary. It is recommended that a qualified
technician do this procedure.
Attach a digital volt meter between the signal
lead (yellow) and 0VDC (ground). With no load
on the cell adjust the zero potentiometer for a
0VDC output. The zero setting LED should be
“OFF”. Any voltage above 0VDC, the zero LED
will turn “ON”.
Apply the mazimum load to the cell. Adjust the
gain potentiometer for a 5VDC output reading.
The gain LED should be “OFF” at a 5VDC output
level. Remove the load and insure the gain LED
is “ON”.
The zero and gain adjustments may need to be
repeated a couple of times to insure proper setting.

Notes: It is recommended to use the load cell
in a compr
ession application. It must be fitted
on a flat surface in order to avoid original
sensitive plate stress. Do not load the sensor
before mounting it with screws on the
mounting surface.
System Example:
FM Load Cell with an Electric Brake
This is a typical load cell unwind application
example. The electric brake varies the tension
on the web depending on the feedback fr
load cell. The load cell signal is amplified and
interpreted in the controller (MCS2000-CTLC).
The controller then puts out a corresponding
0-10 VDC signal to the power supply and drive
(MCS2000-PSDRV). The PSDRV then amplifies
and interprets the signal from the controller and
puts out a corresponding 0-24 VDC signal to the
brake to apply either more or less braking.

The AC10 Tension Measuring System is designed
to measure tension on continuous strip processing lines and equipment. The system consists of
two AC10 Tensioncells, the PSAC10 power supply
amplifier board, and two cables for connecting the
Tensioncells to the board.
AC10 Tensioncells are mounted in pairs, one at
each end of the measuring roll. During operation
the Tensioncells continuously measure the
mechanical tension force applied to the measuring
roll. When the force is applied, the load plate
deflects toward or away from the base block
depending on the resultant force acting upon the
Tensioncell. Deflection toward the base block is
defined as the "Compression Mode.” Deflection
away from the base block is defined as the
"Tension Mode." AC10 Tensioncells work equally
well in either mode.
The mechanical deflection of the load plate is
converted into an electrical output signal by the
AC Linear Variable Differential Transformer
(LVDT). Displacement of the LVDT core caused
by variations in web tension results in an output
signal to the PSAC10 board directly proportional
to the applied tension.
The analog outputs from the Tensioncells are converted into digital signals by the microprocessorbased electronics. The signals are conditioned,
processed, and summed to produce two individually scaleable, -10 to +10 volt DC analog outputs
to a tension indicator, drive or a MCS2000 CTDA
control which can be used to monitor or control
tension. The percent tension applied to each
Tensioncell and the total tension are displayed on
the board mounted 16-character liquid crystal
display (LCD).
Terminals are also provided for connecting a user
supplied On/Off power switch, 1-only 2-only
switch, and RS-422 PC interface. A threshold
alarm relay connection is also provided.
Note: When using the PSAC10 board, connect the outputs to the MCS2000 CTDA. There is no
need to use the MCS2000 CTLC, because the signal is amplified and summed in the PSAC10.

AC10 Tensioncells are available in three capacity ranges for non-rotating shaft applications
with maximum resultant force plus tare load of
60, 170, or 500 pounds respectively.
The rugged, all-steel construction of the AC10
Tensioncell includes four basic components: the
one-piece base block, the patented C-Flexure,
the load plate, and the shaft support block. The
factory-set mechanical stop provides overload
protection up to ten times the maximum rated
load capacity of the unit.
Each unit is wall mounted by means of a single
bolt located in line with the integral self-aligning,
stainless steel shaft support bushing and the
centerline of the roll shaft. This permits the
Tensioncell to be rotated and mounted at the
required angle around the axis of the measuring
roll. The locating tab at the bottom of the unit
locks it in position.
The primary conversion element between the
mechanical tension force and the electrical output signal is an AC Linear Variable Differential
Transformer (LVDT). The LVDT electrical elements are encapsulated and sealed against
shock, vibration, or tampering. Input and output
circuits are isolated from each other and from
the Tensioncell body. This permits the
Tensioncells to be used in floating ground electrical systems.

Pre-Installation Inspection
Before installing the AC10 system:
1. Insure all components are present. A typical
system consists of two AC10 Tensioncells,
one PSAC10 board, and two 30 foot lengths
of cable for connecting the Tensioncells to
the board. Refer to Model Number
Designation (Chart 1) below to verify load
capacity and shaft diameter.
2. Inspect all electrical and mechanical components for physical damage.
3. Promptly report any damage to the carrier
and Warner Electric.
Mechanical Installation – Tensioncells
The maximum rated load capacity must be
greater than or equal to (RF + TW) where W =
Tare Weight. The Web Resultant Force (RF) and
Tare Weight are always summed. Refer to the
Model Number Designation (Chart 1) below to
verify the shaft diameter, and that the maximum
rated load capacity of each unit.
Warner Electric also recommends the Resultant
Force (RF) be greater than 1/3 the maximum
load capacity of the Tensioncells.
Warner Electric side mount AC10 Tensioncells
are shipped in pairs designated W1 and W2.
The W1 unit has a split stainless steel, selfaligning bushing for clamping the measuring
roll. The bushing in the W2 unit is not split to
allow for shaft expansion.
AC10 Tensioncells are available in three capacity ranges. The rated load capacity should
always be larger than the maximum calculated
Tare Weight (W) plus the Resultant Force (RF).
To calculate the Resultant Force:
1. E = (180°-B/2) where B = Wrap Angle
2. RF = T x CosineE where T = Web Tension

machine drawings, or other documentation
to determine the mounting angle. If the
mounting angle is not specified, mount the
Tensioncells so that the Tensioncell load line
(OL) bisects the wrap angle and aligns with
the Resultant Force (RF).
The Tensioncells are mounted to the machine
frame with a 5/8-11 UNC bolt. The bolt is in line
with the centerline of the shaft support bushing.
This allows the T
ensioncells to be rotated
around the centerline of the roll so that the
Tensioncell load line (OX) aligns with the
Resultant Force (RF).
To install the Tensioncells:
1. Drill a 5/8" diameter hole through each side
of the machine frame at the measuring roll
location. The holes must be in line with each
other and roll centerline to insure that the roll
is level.
2. Fasten the Tensioncell to the machine frame
with the 5/8-11 UNC mounting bolt.
3. Rotate the Tensioncell to the proper mount-
ing angle and tighten the mounting bolt.
4. Drill a #6 (.204) hole concentric with the 1/4"
hole in the locating tab.
5. Remove the Tensioncell to provide clearance
to tap the hole for a 1/4-20 thread.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for the Tensioncell
for the other end of measuring roll shaft.
7. Loosen, but do not remove, the four screws
in the bottom of the shaft support block
enough to slide the Tensioncells on the roll
shaft.
Note: The mounting angle must be the
same for both T
ensioncells and the Load
Plate for both units must face in the same
direction.
8. Position the roll with the Tensioncells in the
machine and fasten them to the machine
frame with the mounting bolts. Tighten the
bolts enough to allow the T
ensioncells to be
rotated to the desired mounting angle.
9. Rotate the Tensioncells to align the locating
tab with the 1/4-20 threaded hole. Lock the
Tensioncells in position against the machine
frame using a 1/4-20 x 1/2 socket head cap
screw.
10. Tighten the mounting bolt on each unit.
11. Align the measuring roll so that there is no
mechanical binding or friction.
12. Tighten the four screws in the bottom of
each shaft support block.
Note: The mechanical stops are factory set
ovide 1000% overload protection.
