Performance Benefits
Cleveland Motion Controls new Ultra
Line Slim Cell Transducer is part of the
new Cleveland-Kidder® Ultra Line
Tension Transducer family. With a
unique low-profile design, it sets the
standard for either new machinery or
for retrofits where space is tight. With a
dust sealed, corrosion resisting, water
resisting design, it is ideal for use in
demanding industrial environments.
The Ultra Line Slim Cell Transducer
can be used with either rotating shafts
or dead shaft rollers and has a flat

cylindrical shape. It is designed to
reduce the required side-frame-to-sideframe width of the machine.
Ultra Line Slim Cells, when used in
conjunction with Ultra Line Amplifiers,
provide better performance than
competitive load cells by increasing
the operating tension range from 8:1
to 40:1. They also provide more
accurate measurement by eliminating
electrical disturbances caused by AC
drives, servos, and other modern high
frequency devices.

Technical Specifics:
How CMC Does It

Operates over a wider tension
range. Provides up to 40:1
tension range. Competitive
products typically provide tension
ranges of only 8:1 or 16:1, at the
very best.

Provides a higher
output signal which
results in better signal
resolution.

Full Wheatstone Bridge semiconductor strain gage
transducer design provides a
higher and more stable signal.
“Twin beam” design provides
high mechanical gain with
negligible displacement.

Ability to measure lower (light)
tensions.

Substantial and stable
output signal even at
low tensions.

New amplifier technology
eliminates drift, which distorts
low-tension measurements.

Does not react to electrical noise
from AC motors, servo, relay
coils, or other electrical
disturbances.

Rejects electrical noise
resulting in clean and
accurate output signal
devoid of distortion.

Four-wire differential ended
technology provides common
mode rejection of electrical
disturbances.

Better at maintaining proper
tension measurement regardless
of ambient temperature changes.

Minimum deviation of
signal output due to
temperature changes.

Precise temperature
compensation network cancels
out temperature influences.
