Working Principle
The PFTL101B 20.0KN 3BSE004203R1 achieves weight or force measurement based on specific physical principles. Its internal core components use changes in physical properties of materials under force to sense external forces. When an external force is applied to the sensor, the internal sensitive elements deform or change physical parameters accordingly. For example, based on the magnetostrictive effect, the magnetic permeability of the internal magnetic materials in the sensor changes under mechanical stress.
The sensor consists of a set of specially treated laminations as the measurement body, with primary and secondary windings wound through four holes in the sensor and crossing each other. When an alternating current is applied to the primary winding, a magnetic field is generated around it. When the sensor is not under force, the secondary winding does not generate a magnetic field because the primary and secondary windings are perpendicular to each other. When the sensor is subjected to mechanical force in the measurement direction, the propagation of the magnetic field changes, causing a magnetic field around the secondary winding and inducing an alternating voltage in it. The control unit converts this alternating voltage into a direct voltage output proportional to the applied force. If the direction of the measured force changes, the polarity of the sensor signal will change accordingly. By precisely measuring and analyzing the output voltage signal, the magnitude and direction of the applied force or weight can be accurately obtained.
Application FieldsPaper Industry
It plays a key role in the paper production process, applicable to weight and tension monitoring of equipment such as paper machines, calenders, coaters, and winders. By accurately measuring the force on paper in different production links, it ensures stable tension during paper production, guarantees uniform paper quality, avoids problems such as wrinkles and breakage, and improves the efficiency and quality of paper production.
