ABB PFTL201C 10KN 3BSE007913R10
ABB PFTL201C 10KN Pressductor Horizontal Force Load Cell / Tension Sensor
Product Description
The ABB PFTL201C 10KN (3BSE007913R10) is a sophisticated Pressductor Load Cell designed specifically for accurate and reliable horizontal force measurement in demanding industrial environments. It’s a key component in strip and web tension measurement systems, particularly in industries such as paper and pulp, metals (e.g., rolling mills, galvanizing lines), and converting.
Unlike load cells that measure vertical force, the PFTL201C is optimized to measure the horizontal force component that arises when a material (like a metal strip or paper web) wraps around a measurement roll. This design can be highly advantageous as it allows the load cell to be sized primarily for the strip tension, excluding the tare weight of the roll, which often results in optimized measurement accuracy.
At its core, this sensor utilizes ABB’s patented Pressductor technology, which is based on the magnetostrictive effect. This principle involves measuring changes in a ferromagnetic material’s magnetic properties when subjected to mechanical force. This makes Pressductor load cells inherently robust, highly resistant to overloads, shock, impact, and electrical interference, and less prone to drift due to temperature changes or long-term use, compared to conventional strain gauge load cells.
The “10KN” in the model name indicates its rated load capacity of 10 kilonewtons, signifying its ability to precisely measure significant tension levels. The PFTL201C integrates seamlessly into a complete tension measurement system, providing a low-impedance, high-power AC signal that is highly resistant to external disturbances, contributing to improved product quality, reduced material waste, and enhanced process uptime.
