The FMS CA‑Series is a family of compact, high‑precision force measuring sensors engineered for dead‑shaft idler rolls in continuous material‑processing lines. Designed for machines with limited installation space, the CA‑Series integrates the dead‑shaft bracket and force sensor into a single housing, minimizing mechanical complexity and installation footprint.

With nominal force ratings from 50 to 1500 N, a 30:1 measuring range, and accuracy class ±0.5%, the CA‑Series delivers reliable and repeatable tension measurement even with low wrap angles or heavy rollers.

The sensors feature dual flexion beam technology, ensuring high accuracy and eliminating angular deflection under load. A built‑in mechanical hard‑stop provides 10× overload protection, reducing the need for recalibration and ensuring long‑term durability.
