Abstract
A sheave for use in a tension measurement system to measure a tension force in a cable may include a first diameter and a second diameter. The sheave is configured to rotate about an axis to orient the first diameter or the second diameter toward the cable, such that a contact force between the sheave and the cable is measured by a tension sensor to determine the tension force in the cable.
