Web tension measuring method and device

摘要

Web tension measurement in that the web (5) is caused to oscillate transversely with the resonance frequency for the portion of the web (5) defined by a support (2,2a). The oscillations are measured by detectors (6,7) for determining the web tension. The measuring is carried out free of contact in that a thin air layer is maintained between the support (2,2a) and web (5).
