Match the complete thread
Diameter, pitch, engagement and centre distance decide whether a Metric or UNF replacement can be fitted correctly.
PRECISION STARTS WITH THE LOAD PATH.
Tension load cells.
Force, in focus.
From a tensile test fixture to a crane proof load, specify the sensor, mechanical connection and signal as one measurement chain.

ENGINEERING NOTE 01Keep the force axial. Off-axis loads introduce bending and measurement error. Match articulated connections to the sensor and load rating.See load-path guide ↗
TENSION MEASUREMENT / FOUR LOAD PATHS
Choose by geometry.
Then refine the measurement.
S-beam tensile load cells, heavy-duty load links, cantilever web transducers and permanent rope clamps each solve a different installation problem.
01 / TLC-SBM5 N–20 t · CONFIGURATION RANGE
S-Beam Tension & Compression Load Cells
Axial force measurement for tensile test machines, suspended weighing and automated test fixtures. Start with the load case, then match the thread and signal chain.

02 / TLC-LNK1–500 t · CONFIGURATION RANGE
Wireless & Cabled Tension Load Links
Configure a load link for crane proof-load testing, water-bag trials, mooring or suspended load monitoring. Match the complete load path, shackles and readout before ordering.

03 / TLC-WEB0.5–2,000 N · CONFIGURATION RANGE
Cantilever Web & Wire Tension Load Cells
Single-ended flange-mounted cantilever roll sensors for narrow webs, plus three-pulley geometries for wire, yarn and filament. Size for resultant roller force and the actual material path.

04 / TLC-ROPØ6–52 mm · CONFIGURATION RANGE
Permanent Wire Rope Clamp & Chain Tension Measurement
Permanently installed rope clamp sensing for running-load monitoring, overload indication and slack-rope detection. Chain measurements require a separately rated chain-compatible assembly.

Build the right signal chain
Bridge sensitivity and excitation, 4–20 mA scaling, RS485 registers or IO-Link device data must match the controller.

WRAP GEOMETRY / STATIC ESTIMATE
Roller force is not always web tension
F = 2 × T × sin(θ / 2)
θ is the change in material travel direction: 0° is straight through; 180° reverses direction. Equal incoming and outgoing tension, negligible friction and a sensing axis aligned with the resultant are assumed.
Add roller dead weight and dynamic loads separately. A two-support installation divides the resultant between the sensors. This estimate does not set lifting ratings.
