ABB PFTL301E-0.2KN Precision Load Cell for Tension Measurement

Description

The ABB PFTL301E-0.2KN load cell is part of ABB’s renowned Pressductor® technology family, which uses magnetoelastic principles to measure mechanical force with exceptional stability and accuracy. Unlike conventional strain gauge load cells, the PFTL301E measures horizontal tension force only, eliminating the influence of roll weight and improving measurement fidelity. This model is ideal for web tension control in paper, film, foil, textile, and packaging industries. Its compact PillowBlock design allows for direct mounting under bearing housings, simplifying installation and reducing mechanical complexity. Moreover, the sensor’s rugged stainless steel housing and sealed construction ensure reliable operation in harsh environments with dust, humidity, and vibration. In addition, the PFTL301E-0.2KN offers a wide measurement range and does not require recalibration over time, making it a low-maintenance solution for continuous production lines.
