ABB PFTL101B 5.0KN 3BSE004191R1 Product Description:
ABB PFTL101B 5.0KN 3BSE004191R1 is a high-precision strain gauge weighing sensor designed specifically for industrial weighing and force sensing applications. As part of ABB’s trusted measurement and analysis solution portfolio, it seamlessly integrates with ABB’s programmable logic controller (PLC), human-machine interface (HMI), and distributed control system (DCS) to form the core of a reliable force feedback loop. This weighing sensor serves as a critical interface between physical machinery and digital control systems, converting mechanical loads into electrical signals for real-time processing, analysis, and action.

PFTL101B 5.0KN 3BSE004191R1

For engineers and system integrators, its value lies in the ability to achieve ± 0.05% accuracy within a measurement range of 5.0 kN, ensuring compliance with strict industry standards. Its sturdy aluminum alloy structure and sealing design (IP67 protection level) enable it to resist water, dust, and corrosive substances, while its compact design (only [size] millimeters) allows it to be installed in small spaces – making it ideal for retrofitting existing machinery. Whether used for static weighing (such as tracking warehouse inventory) or dynamic force monitoring (such as lifting equipment), PFTL101B can simplify integration in complex automation architectures, shorten debugging time, and improve system reliability.

Main features and advantages:
PFTL101B 5.0KN 3BSE004191R1 performs excellently in terms of functional performance, with fast response time and the ability to capture transient loads without distortion. Its built-in temperature compensation function ensures measurement stability over a wide operating temperature range (-30 ° C to+70 ° C), which is crucial for applications with fluctuating environmental conditions. The high overload capacity (150% of rated load) of this weighing sensor provides a safe buffer against unexpected impacts, while its anti fatigue performance (10 million load cycles) ensures its service life in high-frequency environments such as packaging lines or cargo handling.

In terms of hardware, its through-hole installation design allows for flexible installation – whether directly bolted onto machinery or integrated into customized fixtures. Shielded cables with M12 connectors can minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is a common challenge for high-energy equipment in factories. The compatibility with industry standard protocols, such as Modbus RTU implemented through optional transmitters, ensures seamless integration with third-party systems, making it a flexible choice for multi vendor settings.

Long term reliability is further improved through its creep resistance, which enables it to maintain accuracy even under sustained loads – crucial for applications such as tension control in textile manufacturing. Engineers appreciate its pre calibrated output (nominal 2.0mV/V), which reduces on-site calibration work, while traceable NIST certification adds credibility to industries with strict quality control, such as pharmaceuticals.

Application areas:
This device is designed for durability and reliability, and is indispensable in fields such as manufacturing, material handling, and process automation. For example, on an automotive assembly line, it ensures that the robotic arm applies exactly 5.0 kilonewtons of force during component installation – avoiding product failures caused by insufficient tightening and preventing component damage caused by excessive tightening. In steel production, when the bridge crane lifts heavy steel coils, PFTL101B monitors the load in real time to prevent equipment damage or safety hazards caused by overload accidents.

Mining operations also rely on this weighing sensor to measure the tension of the conveyor belt, ensuring smooth material flow and detecting abnormal situations such as deviation or sudden weight changes. Its compatibility with ABB automation systems makes it the preferred choice for engineers designing closed-loop control systems, such as in food processing plants where it can adjust the filling weight of products on the packaging line. By addressing challenges such as environmental interference, mechanical stress, and long-term drift, PFTL101B 5.0KN 3BSE004191R1 can maintain stable performance under harsh conditions from dust warehouses to high humidity environments.

Installation and maintenance:
Before installation, ensure that the installation surface is flat and free of debris to avoid measurement errors caused by eccentric loading. Use high-strength bolts (grade 8.8 or above) and tighten according to the manufacturer’s specifications (usually [X] N · m) to securely fix PFTL101B. Separate cables from high-voltage lines during wiring to reduce electromagnetic interference; In noisy environments, it is recommended to use shielded conduits. Ground the weighing sensor and related electronic devices to a common grounding point to prevent grounding loops.

For maintenance, it is recommended to conduct visual inspections every quarter to check for physical damage, loose connections, or corrosion on installed hardware. Use a multimeter to verify the output impedance and bridge voltage of the weighing sensor, and compare them with the factory specifications in the data sheet. Perform calibration checks every 12 months using known reference weights (such as certified test loads) to ensure accuracy. If the system is used in a high vibration environment, the inspection frequency should be increased to detect early signs of cable wear or mechanical fatigue. Regularly update the firmware of the connected transmitter or controller to utilize improved noise filtering or diagnostic functions.
