PFCL201CE-50KN
ABB PFCL201CE-50KN Pressductor Load Cell / Tension Controller Module
Product Description
The ABB PFCL201CE-50KN is a specialized Pressductor Load Cell used in demanding industrial applications, particularly for precise force measurement and tension control. While sometimes referred to as a “module” due to its integration into larger control systems, its core function is that of a load cell.
ABB’s Pressductor technology is known for its robustness, accuracy, and reliability in harsh environments. Unlike traditional strain gauge load cells, Pressductor transducers use the magnetostrictive effect, where a ferromagnetic material’s magnetic properties change under mechanical stress. This makes them highly resistant to overload, shock, and electrical interference, and less susceptible to drift over time or with temperature changes.
The “50KN” in the model name indicates its rated load capacity of 50 kilonewtons, making it suitable for measuring significant forces or tensions in heavy industrial processes.
