ABSTRACT:
A transducer (30) for sensing tension loading of a conveyor chain (12) of the type including single and dual links (14,16) pivotally connected in an alternating relationship includes a transducer link (40) having opposite ends (42,44) for connection along the chain and also includes a transducer member (46) mounted by the transducer link (40) between its ends. The transducer member (46) includes an opening (48) and at least one strain gauge (50) mounted thereon. A clamp (52) of the transducer compresses the transducer member (46) as tension loading is applied between the opposite ends of the transducer link to provide a strain gauge indication of the extent of the tension loading. The clamp (52) includes a clamp member (54) that opposes a clamping seat (56) on the transducer link (40) with the transducer member (46) clamped therebetween by a connector (58) that extends to one end (42) of the transducer link. The connector (58) includes a connector end ( 62) that carries the chain tension, a shank (64) that extends through a hole (60) in the transducer member (46), and a clamping end (66) that is secured to the clamp member (54) preferably by a threaded connection.
