Key Features
0.5 kN rated capacity – Suited for low-tension zones on narrow or delicate webs where over-sizing typically hurts accuracy.
Pressductor magnetoelastic technology – Delivers stable measurements with low drift; seems to be notably tolerant to misalignment and side loads.
Pillow-block integration – Mounts between machine frame and roll bearing housing, making retrofits straightforward in many cases.
High overload tolerance – Typically handles short, unintended peaks better than conventional strain-gauge cells.
Robust in production environments – Good immunity to vibration and thermal shifts; a practical fit for converting lines and coaters.
Works with ABB PFEA tension electronics – Pair with PFEA modules to obtain industry-standard outputs (0–10 V, 4–20 mA) and diagnostics.
Technical Specifications
| Brand / Model | ABB PFTL101A-0.5KN |
| HS Code | 903180 |
| Rated Capacity | 0.5 kN (500 N) |
| Measuring Principle | Magnetoelastic (Pressductor) |
| Signal Input/Output Types | Dual-coil sensor element (passive); with ABB PFEA electronics: 0–10 V or 4–20 mA (typical) |
| Power Requirements | Sensor is passive; excitation and power provided by ABB PFEA tension electronics (24 VDC supply typical to electronics) |
| Operating Temperature | Typically -10 to +60 °C (application dependent) |
| Installation Method | Pillow-block mounting between machine frame and roll bearing housing; measures radial force from the web |
| Material | Stainless steel measuring body (corrosion-resistant) |
Typical use cases include low-tension stations on label lines, precision film coating, and foil handling before slitting. One packaging customer put it simply: “We got steadier readings during acceleration and fewer tension alarms at splice.” You might notice that the sensor pays off most when paired with correctly tuned PFEA electronics and a clean mechanical layout.
Related or Supporting Products
ABB PFTL101A-1KN / -2KN / -5KN – Same form factor with higher capacities; choose based on roll load and wrap angle.
ABB PFTL201A Series – For medium to higher tensions; typically used on wider webs or heavier rolls.
ABB PFEA 111 / PFEA 113 Tension Electronics – Signal conditioning and outputs (0–10 V / 4–20 mA); PFEA 113 typically adds more diagnostics and interface options.
Mounting accessories and cabling – Shielded sensor cables and adapter plates to match existing pillow-block dimensions.
Installation & Maintenance
Mounting – Install between the machine frame and bearing housing in the load direction. Surfaces should be flat and rigid; avoid soft shims that creep over time.
Alignment – Keep the force path as axial as possible. Small misalignments are tolerated, but precise alignment usually improves linearity.
Wiring – Use shielded, twisted-pair cabling from sensor to PFEA electronics. Route away from high-frequency drives to minimize noise.
Electronics placement – House PFEA modules in a ventilated control cabinet; 24 VDC supply with stable grounding is recommended.
Safety – Lockout/tagout before mechanical work. Do not weld on the machine with the load cell connected.
Calibration – Perform zero and span via the PFEA. In most cases, a reference roll load or a known web tension method (wrap-angle/force) is used.
Routine checks – Inspect mounting bolts, cable strain relief, and connector tightness quarterly. Clean around the sensor to prevent buildup that may bias readings.
Firmware/updates – If using PFEA 113, keep firmware current for improved diagnostics and stability.
