PFCL201CD 20KN

PFCL201CD 20KN

1. Product DescriptionThe ABB PFCL201CD 20kN is a high-performance strain-gauge load cell module engineered for accurate tension and compression force measurement in industrial applications. Designed for heavy-duty scenarios, it serves as a core sensing component in systems such as material testing machines, crane overload protection, web tension control in papermaking and printing lines, and industrial weighing equipment.
   This module adopts a robust stainless steel construction that provides excellent resistance to corrosion, shock, and vibration, ensuring stable performance even in harsh industrial environments with temperature fluctuations and mechanical stress. It features a compact, low-profile design that simplifies installation in confined spaces, while its integrated signal conditioning circuit converts the strain-gauge’s micro-voltage output into a standardized 4–20 mA analog signal for direct connection to PLCs, DCS, or dedicated display units.
   The PFCL201CD 20kN offers high measurement accuracy and long-term stability with minimal zero drift, eliminating the need for frequent recalibration. It is fully compatible with ABB’s PFEA series tension controllers and third-party industrial control systems, making it a versatile solution for force measurement and process control tasks across manufacturing, logistics, and construction industries.
