The overall tension in the system is
controlled by a spring mechanism against
an idler wheel. Some form of load
measurement was required, but it had to
fit into the excisting system, which did
not allow space for a standard off the
shelf load cell.
Applied Measurements Ltd designed and
manufactured a custom load cell based on
the CCG load cell concept, but to
exactly fit the existing mechanical
dimensions. It had to be annular to
allow the tensioning system to fit
through the centre and to be extremely
low in height to replace an existing
washer.

To complete the system each load cell
was supplied calibrated with a digital
indicator containing 4 changeover relays.
Each system operated from a 240Vac supply,
giving the system operators a visual
reference of the tension in the system,
plus the relays controlled an early
warning alarm system allowing
preventative maintenance.
