Web Tension

Calculate total paper-web tensile force and ideal translational power from web width, line tension, and speed.

OPERATING LIMITS — Ideal web-power estimate only; final drive design requires inertia, losses and transient tension.

Technical Methodology & Engineering Principles

GOVERNING EQUATION
Web width is converted to inches; total force = tension in lbf/in × width; ideal web power = force × line speed.
Assumptions & Scope

Uniform entered tension across the web and ideal translational power only. Acceleration, roll inertia, winding torque, slip, losses, tension zones, and drive service factor are excluded.

Operating Range & Boundary

Web width, tension, and line speed must be non-negative.
