Montalvo 6898-350 Type FN Roller Load Cell Transducer 250N Industrial Web

Montalvo 6898-350 Type FN Roller Load Cell Transducer 250N Industrial Web

The Montalvo 6898-350 is a Type FN roller load cell transducer with a 250N load capacity, designed for web tension measurement in industrial converting and processing machinery. It mounts in-line with a web roller and converts the mechanical force applied by a running web into an analog electrical signal that feeds a tension controller or readout. The stainless steel sensor head is integrated into a flanged assembly for rigid, repeatable mounting.

Applications

Montalvo is a U.S. manufacturer specializing in web tension control systems used in printing, converting, coating, laminating, and other continuous web-process industries. Roller load cells like the 6898-350 are installed at idler or dancer roller positions to measure the tension in paper, film, foil, fabric, or other web materials as they move through a machine. The load cell signal feeds a Montalvo tension controller or amplifier, which uses it to regulate brakes, clutches, or drive motors to maintain consistent web tension across the process. The Type FN designation indicates a flange-mount configuration suited for end-of-shaft or journal-style roller installations. This type of transducer is standard equipment in web converting lines throughout the packaging, printing, and nonwovens industries, and Montalvo components are widely used in both OEM machine builds and field retrofits.
