Belt Tension Sensors

Belt Tension SensorsTypical Application:  Advanced Airbag Control Systems
CTS belt tension sensors directly measure the strain on a steel beam using proprietary, piezoresistive sensor technology. Mechanical travel over the sensing range is less than 0.05mm. This eliminates sensor errors associated with sticking and hysteresis common to other designs and provides accuracy to near zero loads.

Features/Benefits:

  • Accuracy (0 to 133 N)
  • Reliability (no sticking, hysteresis)
  • Internal Diagnostic Capability
  • Mounting Flexibility and Package Size
