THE MECHANICS OF TENSION CONTROL - Converter …

Remember the equation of torque = tension x radius is linear, so torque must be decreased (for unwinds) and increased (for rewinds) at a linear rate relative to roll radius. For example, if you start with a 17.5 inch roll radius (35 inch diameter) and unwind down to a 1.75 inch core radius (3.5 inch diameter); 17.5 divided by 1.75 is 10:1 ratio.
