Pedestal-Mount Tension Sensor
LC100A Pedestal-Mount Tension Sensor
LC100A is a pedestal-mount tension sensor for measuring web tension through leaf spring deflection. It is suitable for compact installations where stable, linear tension feedback is required for web tension control.
Key Features
Compact pedestal-mount tension sensing for web tension control applications.
- Excellent linearity for accurate tension detection.
- Low temperature drift and precise zero output.
- Overload protection with a braking structure for strong overload resistance.
- Compact size and compatible mounting dimensions help save installation space.

Replacement & Spare Part
Replacing an LC100A on your machine?
Replacing a load cell from another manufacturer? If the rated load, shaft diameter and mounting dimensions match, one of these can replace it. Send the old sensor’s label and mounting dimensions and we will check the fit.
What to match
Confirm the rated load, whether the full-scale output is 10 mV or 200 mV, and the 204# bearing arrangement. Check the pedestal mounting dimensions against the sensor already fitted to the machine.
What to send us
Send a photo of the sensor label, a photo showing how it is mounted, and the model of the connected controller or signal amplifier. Include the old sensor’s mounting dimensions so we can check the fit.
Measurement checks for LC100A installations
Use these checks to review the sensor installation and measurement setup.
Zero drifts after the roller or bearing was changed
Re-zero with the roller installed and no web, then recalibrate using a known weight. A replacement roller changes the dead weight applied to the sensor.
Tension reading changes when the line speeds up
Inspect the measuring roller’s wrap angle. If the web path before or after it moves with roll diameter, the measured force changes too. The measuring roller needs fixed idlers on both sides.
Reading jumps or goes to full scale
Check the cable and connector first. Then check whether the sensor was overloaded, for example during a web break or a hard stop.
10 mV or 200 mV output: check before you wire it
Choose LC100A when a compact pedestal-mounted tension sensor is required for stable web tension feedback.
| Good Fit | Compact roller installations, standard converting machines and applications requiring stable linear tension feedback. |
|---|---|
| Check First | Confirm roller mounting structure, rated load, web tension range, bearing arrangement and installation space before selection. |
| System Match | Use with compatible tension controllers, signal amplifiers and roller structures according to the required tension range and output signal. |
