ABB  PFTL101A 1.0KN 3BSE004166R1

The ABB PFTL101A-1.0KN (3BSE004166R1) is a high-precision Pressductor® PillowBlock Load Cell designed for horizontal force and web tension measurement in industrial applications. It belongs to ABB’s PFTL101A series of horizontal load cells and is widely used in demanding processes requiring accurate tension monitoring, especially in paper manufacturing, metal processing, and rolling mill applications.

This load cell uses ABB’s patented Pressductor technology, which measures force through magnetoelastic principles, providing reliable measurement performance under harsh industrial conditions. 

Core Functions

• Horizontal force measurement

  • Measures mechanical forces generated by tension, pulling, or web movement.
  • Rated measuring capacity: 1.0 kN (approximately 1000 N). 

• Web tension monitoring

  • Provides accurate tension feedback for closed-loop control systems.
  • Suitable for high-speed production lines requiring stable tension control. 

• Industrial weighing and force detection

  • Can be integrated into automation systems for force monitoring and process optimization. 

Design Features

• Pressductor® PillowBlock structure

  • Compact mechanical design for direct installation on machine rolls and tension measuring assemblies. 

• High accuracy and repeatability

  • Accuracy class: approximately 0.5%
  • Repeatability error: less than ±0.05%. 

• Low mechanical deflection

  • Deflection: approximately 0.015 mm, ensuring stable measurement performance. 

• Strong overload capability

  • Measurement direction overload capacity: up to 5.0 kN for the 1.0 kN model.
