Yarn tension sensors – clever signals for success

The measuring principle of the yarn tension sensor is based on the proven Hall technology. Here, through the measurement of magnetic field intensity, a signal that is proportional to the yarn tension is converted into voltage. Measuring accuracy over many years proves the reliability of this measuring principle. Practice proven is also the compact and stable structural design of the sensor.

The sensor is available in 3 main tension ranges:

• Low tension range: PA applications (0-60 cN)
• Standard range: PET applications (0-120 cN)
• High tension range: heavy counts and bulked continuous filament (BCF) applications (0-240 cN).

The Retech yarn tension sensor is the ideal tool for yarn quality management. Highly reliable tension monitoring allows exact supervision at texturing and other industrial machines. Producers benefit of waste reduction and year-round precision and quality reports in filament yarn productions.
