Patent ID: 7845592

Claim:
A reel-up for reeling a fiber web, the reel-up comprising: a supporting body movable with respect to and forming a reel nip with a growing fiber web roll receiving the fiber web, the fiber web roll defining an axis; and at least one measuring body operably engaged with the supporting body and defining a cross-machine axis extending in parallel with the fiber web roll axis, the at least one measuring body being arranged in order to be influenced by a turning torque imparted thereto by movement of the supporting body, the at least one measuring body being configured so as to measure a horizontal component of a force directed perpendicularly to the cross-machine axis of the at least one measuring body and associated with the turning torque, the horizontal component of the force directed perpendicularly to the cross-machine axis being further associated with a linear load applied by the supporting body to the growing fiber web roll in the reel nip.
