Product Short Description
ABB PFTL201C 10KN is a high-precision, industrial-grade force sensor designed for reliable horizontal tension measurement in continuous web and strip processing applications. It employs ABB’s patented Pressductor magnetoelastic technology, which detects changes in magnetic properties of ferromagnetic materials under mechanical load. This load cell is optimized to measure the horizontal force component generated by material wrapped around a roll, eliminating interference from the roll’s dead weight and ensuring high measurement accuracy. It serves as a critical component in closed-loop tension control systems, delivering stable and precise data to maintain consistent material tension, enhance product quality, and reduce waste in demanding industrial environments.
