Transducers

A transducer is a device that converts energy from one form to another, in this instance our transducers convert mechanical force into an electrical signal which is proportional to the force applied. Enabling measurements to be taken and passed to higher level components.

Cleveland-Kidder ® Classic Line

The Cleveland-Kidder ® Classic Line is still available and supported as a legacy range from the USA manufacturer Cleveland-Kidder ® additionally these transducers (Load Cells) provide a highly responsive linear output signal for measuring, monitoring and controlling web tension in continuous processes.

They comprise of a half bridge semi-conductor strain-gauge design and a temperature compensation network for consistent accuracy and performance. With a 5.6Vdc excitation and a 230mV maximum nominal output.

In order to operate with the majority of amplifiers and controllers on the market they must either be purchased in pairs or a single transducer must be used in conjunction with a pair of resistors to complete the bridge.

Cleveland-Kidder ® Classic Line transducers are available in various styles for different applications including the following:

  • Cartridge (EC/M) (SC/M)
  • Cantilever (CLT)
  • Cantilever w/ roller (CSM)
  • Under Pillow Block (UPB)
  • Under Pillow Block – 10 (UPB-10)
  • V Version – (V) (A version provided by CMC Controls with a built-in amplifier mounted inside the transducer.)

Cleveland-Kidder ® Ultra Line

The Cleveland-Kidder ® Ultra Line is the latest offering from the USA manufacturer Cleveland-Kidder ®. These transducers (Load Cells) provide accurate measurement and control of web tension in continuous process machinery applications.

They comprise of a full-bridge semi-conductor strain gauge and a temperature compensation network for consistent accuracy and performance.

Featuring: 40:1 tension range and noise immunity (heavy rollers with light measurements), 5.6Vdc excitation 400mV maximum nominal output, 4 wire connectors with long cable runs.

The Cleveland-Kidder ® Ultra Line transducers are available in various styles for different applications including the following:

  • Cartridge (U-EC/M) (U-SC/M)
  • Cantilever (U-CLT)
  • Cantilever w/ roller (U-CSM)
  • Under Pillow Block (U-UPB)
  • ISC Version (ISC) – (A version with a built in amplifier mounted inside the transducer)
