Reversal Time
- Reversal time depends on linear speed.
- For details on reversal time at various dial settings( Linear speed ) refer to Figure 19.

Force related to winding tension (Fw )


Refer to Figure 14 for a visual representation
- C = Traverse length (millimetres)
- T = Winding tension (kilograms, usually around 5 to 10% of the maximum tensile strength of the material being wound)
- B = Distance between the traverse and the let-off point (millimetres)
For ease of selection, you can pre-select a model by roughly estimating the required force using the above calculations. This preliminary estimation will help guide you in choosing a traverse unit model that can handle the expected forces and perform optimally for your specific application.
