Montalvo Announces Small Low-Range U-25 Load Cell; Good For Harsh Environments

The Montalvo Corporation, international specialists in industrial web control systems, announces its U-25 series load cell.

President Ed Montalvo says, "This is a small, very sensitive load cell that has been designed for harsh environments. It is well suited to specialty converting processes, printing, tissue manufacture, and for use with nonwovens."

The U-Series load cell is made of stainless steel construction and is water resistant, giving it an IP-66 standard rating and an optional IP-67 rating.

The U-25 has been designed from the ground up to extend the lower end of the U-Series range.

"Since the UPB Series did not have a low range equivalent, and since many customers have need of an under-pillow-block load cell even in smaller applications, we developed the U-25. The U-25 will retrofit certain competitive load cells without any change to bolt patterns," says Montalvo. The company's specialists can help ensure proper sizing of load cells.

The Montalvo Corporation specializes in the analyzing, upgrading and servicing of customer's web tension control equipment. For more than 60 years, Montalvo has manufactured, integrated and serviced a wide range of web control products and systems for the converting, paper, foil, nonwovens, and plastic film industries. Montalvo products include brakes, clutches, electronic tension control devices, load cells, indicators, web guiding equipment and safety chucks. Montalvo manufactures in the United States and Denmark, and sells worldwide.
