Pressductor magnetoelastic principle – Delivers stable measurements with minimal drift, even when temperature and vibration fluctuate.
1.0 kN nominal load – Suited for lighter web tensions on paper, film, foil, and fine strip applications.
High overload tolerance – Typically survives short-term overloads far better than strain-gauge cells, reducing unplanned downtime.
Pillow‑block/roll mounting – Installs at bearing supports around measuring rollers; compact footprint simplifies retrofit.
Pairs with ABB tension electronics – The sensor is passive; excitation and conditioning are provided by ABB electronics for mA/V or fieldbus outputs.
Robust, sealed construction – Designed for industrial environments with humidity, dust, and mechanical shock in many cases.

The PFTL301E 1.0 kN is commonly used in:
Paper converting and printing presses – tension control on lead-in, coating, and rewind sections.
Plastic film & flexible packaging – stable tension for thin films and laminates where stretch must be minimized.
Battery foil and copper/aluminum strip – precise web tension during slitting and coating lines.
Textile and nonwoven lines – consistent tension for delicate fabrics and spunbond materials.
Light metal strip processing – when accurate feedback is needed before/after straighteners and accumulators.
One thing I appreciate is how forgiving this sensor is when a line accelerates or a splice passes the measuring roll—the readings settle quickly, which helps keep drives and brakes under control.
Reliability – Pressductor technology is inherently robust; it typically resists overload and shock better than conventional strain‑gauge cells.
Compatibility – Works with ABB tension electronics for straightforward integration to PLCs via analog or field networks.
Cost control – Fewer sensor replacements and less drift-based recalibration means lower maintenance costs over time.
Supportability – ABB’s long-running platform and clear wiring practices make spares planning and commissioning simpler.
Mounting – Install at the roll bearing supports (pillow‑blocks). Ensure the measuring direction aligns with the web force vector. Use the supplied orientation marks where applicable.
Cabinet & wiring – Place ABB tension electronics in a ventilated control cabinet (IEC/UL‑rated). Use shielded cabling and earth properly at a single point to minimize noise.
Safety – Lock out/tag out the line before mechanical work. Verify load capacity (1.0 kN) is suitable for the roller and web combination, including peak events.
Routine checks – Inspect mounting bolts for torque, look for cable abrasion, and keep the area clear of debris. Zero and span verification with a known test load or electronic simulation is recommended on a scheduled basis.
Firmware & calibration – Any firmware updates or scaling adjustments are done in the paired ABB tension electronics; back up parameters after commissioning.
Manufacturer quality system typically aligned with ISO 9001.
CE marking and RoHS conformity are common for this series; specific certificate set available on request.
Manufacturer’s standard warranty applies; we provide a 365‑day warranty for supplied units.
For a complete tension control loop, this sensor is typically paired with ABB tension electronics (for example, PFEA series) to deliver 4–20 mA or ±10 V signals to your PLC/drive. In many cases customers add an ABB tension controller and a pneumatic or electric brake/drive to close the loop with precise setpoint control.
Customer note: “We dropped it into a film line during a scheduled stop—no frame machining needed. After a quick zero and span with the ABB electronics, tension stayed consistent even during ramp-up. That’s usually where lesser load cells wander.”
