MD Series Tension Load Cell

MD Series Tension Load Cell

Moving-Line Tension Load Cell

The MD Series is a load cell specialized in measuring tension in cables, ropes, or wires as they move within a system. As the line runs over integrated rollers/pulleys, it converts live tension into a clean signal for display, logging, or PLC/SCADA control. Built from stainless/high-strength alloys for marine and industrial duty.

Typical applications

  • Winch and hoist tension monitoring
  • Mooring and towing line supervision
  • Cable-laying and tensioning systems
  • Conveyor, crane, and capstan sheave monitoring

Technical Specifications

Why the MD Series (Moving-Line Tension)

    • Real-time dynamic tension on moving cables/ropes/wires

    • Non-invasive install—no cutting or splicing; the line passes over the device

    • Compatible with multiple diameters and materials (wire rope, steel cable, synthetic rope)

    • Flexible outputs: 4–20 mA, 0–10 V, RS-485/CAN, or wireless
