Product Introduction

The ABB PFTL101B 20.0KN 3BSE004203R1 is an original pillow block style Pressductor tension load cell with 20kN rated measuring force. Adopting magnetoelastic Pressductor measurement principle, it converts web mechanical tension into stable analog signal output and works with ABB PFSK signal processing boards to realize closed-loop tension control. Featuring high overload capacity, robust mechanical construction and excellent long-term stability, this tension sensor delivers reliable force measurement for heavy-duty roll processing lines in paper, metal rolling and plastic film industries.

Content Details

ABB PFTL101B 20.0KN 3BSE004203R1 is a heavy-duty precision Pressductor tension transducer for roller bearing seat installation. With 20kN rated force range, the sensor uses magnetoelastic technology to detect permeability change inside the sensing element under mechanical load and output low-drift measurement signals. Unlike conventional strain gauge sensors, it reduces fatigue failure risk and maintains high linearity and repeatability during continuous long-cycle production. This load cell supports high overload resistance and can withstand sudden tension surges caused by web break or line speed variation without permanent damage. It is designed to measure horizontal tension force of web materials, and transmits raw sensing signals to ABB PFSK series conditioning boards. The whole system continuously adjusts roller speed to keep constant web tension during acceleration, deceleration and speed change, effectively preventing web wrinkling, stretching or snapping, improving finished product yield and cutting material waste.

The sensor body adopts heavy-duty metal structure and sealed protection design. It possesses outstanding vibration resistance and electromagnetic interference immunity, capable of stable operation in factory environments with dust, moisture and strong motor noise. The pillow block mounting design allows simple installation on idle roller bearing housings, convenient for retrofitting on existing production lines. It does not require frequent recalibration after installation and lowers routine maintenance workload. This tension load cell is commonly matched with ABB PFSK control boards and integrated into ABB Advant DCS tension control system. Before shipment, each ABB PFTL101B 20.0KN unit undergoes force calibration, signal testing and aging inspection to verify measurement linearity and repeatability, ensuring stable 24-hour continuous operation for paper mills, metal foil rolling, plastic film and textile processing production lines.
