Abstract
A baler twine tension measurement assembly including a displacement detector and elements defining a first twine path. The first twine path extends between a first location and a second location which is angularly displaceable with respect to the first location. The displacement detector operates to generate a signal indicative of the angular displacement of the second location with respect to the first location.
Claims17
A baler twine tension measurement assembly comprising:
- a displacement detector,
- a first pulley and a second pulley defining a first twine path,
- wherein the first twine path extends between a first location and a second location, wherein the second location is angularly displaceable with respect to the first location, and the displacement detector is configured to generate a signal indicative of the angular displacement of the second location with respect to the first location,
- wherein the first location comprises the first pulley located at a first end of an elongate element and the second location comprises the second pulley located on the elongate element, spaced from the first pulley, and
- a biased armature guided by movement of the elongate element, wherein the biased armature is connected to the displacement detector.
