has announced the release of Vishay Transducers GLT Web Tension Systems. Designed to meet the needs of paper, film, foil converting, and printing equipment manufacturers, the new, low-tension GLT Web Tension Systems measure winding, rewinding, slitting, coating and laminating to ensure premium process performance.

GLT Web Tension Systems combine Vishay Transducers’ PS-1010T web tension transmitter and Vishay BLH Model GLT transducers to provide reliable, repeatable, web tension measurement.

The PS-1010T web tension transmitter is a signal conditioner/amplifier for single-zone web tension measurement that eliminates low- tension signal drift.

The galvanically isolated analogue output signal tracks web tension force signals for precise brake/clutch control or remote panel meter display. Features include compact, lightweight DIN rail ‘Snap Track’ installation; independent zero and span adjustments; galvanically isolated 0 V to 10V, 4mA to 20mA output signals; and low power (24VDC at 125mA). It filters electrical noise caused by AC drives, servo motors, and switching devices.
