Cartridge Style Load Cell Sizing Formula

Notes:    The MWF calculation defines the force on each individual load cell.
             If Angle B is below horizontal use + (plus) in the calculation.
             If Angle B is above horizontal use - (minus) in the calculation.

Sizing Data

A = Wrap Angle (degrees)
B = Angle of Tension Force from Horizontal (degrees)
K = Overload for Transients (normally 1.4)
Tmax = Maximum Tension (lbs.)
Tmin = Minimum Tension (lbs.)
W = Idler Roller Weight (lbs.)
Shaft Diameter (inches)
