What This Product Solves
The ABB PFTL101A 2.0KN 3BSE004172R1 is a precision pressductor pillow block load cell designed to measure tension forces accurately in industrial processes. This product addresses the critical need for reliable measurement of mechanical forces in applications like web tension control, material handling, and process monitoring. By converting mechanical tension into precise electrical signals, it enables engineers to maintain process stability, avoid material defects, and optimize operational efficiency.
This load cell is essential in industries such as paper manufacturing, textiles, and steel production, where maintaining exact tension is vital for product quality and equipment protection. Keywords like “industrial automation,” “load cell,” “tension measurement,” and “process control” illustrate its importance in high-precision control environments.
How the Product Works & Fits into a System
The ABB PFTL101A 2.0KN 3BSE004172R1 operates by measuring forces applied parallel to the mounting surface through a pressductor principle, converting tension into proportional electrical signals. It is typically mounted under roll bearings in machinery where the reactive force from a web or strip under tension is transferred to the load cell. The sensor’s integrated construction from a single machined steel block ensures sensitivity to force in the measurement direction while minimizing interference from other forces.
Installed as part of a tension measurement system, the load cell communicates with junction boxes and control units that translate its output into usable control signals for automation systems. Its robust stainless-steel construction and temperature compensation make it reliable under harsh industrial conditions.
