Arrangements for measuring tension loading in wires

摘要

Arrangement for measuring tension loading in wires. A winch has a foundation-forming, first base member and a second base member permanently connected to the former member by way of shanks disposed therebetween. A support arm is mounted in between the base members with connection therewith on opposite sides of a gap formed by the shanks. A cell is arranged in the support arm for determining tension or pressure forces by measuring mutual movements of the second base member relative to the first base member. An indicating device is electrically connected to the cell enabling measured results to be displayed as an expression of the tension loading in the wire.
