This sensor is to measure the tension of the belt segment. The belt segment passes the range of tension sensor and is the nearest to tension sensor.
Figure 1 Tension Sensor
The belt assembly can be made with segment or FE element. In case of segment, the sensor output is the value of force level. For FE element case, the sensor output is based on stress level.
The sensor output for FE belt can be computed from the following equation. This equation is as same with the tension sensor for MTT3D.
