I. Technical Parameters
Adopting a standardized industrial design that balances measurement accuracy, environmental adaptability and scenario compatibility, the core technical parameters of the sensor are integrated from multiple sources as follows, in line with the actual industrial measurement requirements to ensure precise data and stable operation:
Measurement Performance Parameters: The rated load (measuring range) is 100KN (22500lbs equivalent), with an extended load capacity of up to 150KN (33750lbs), meeting the measurement needs of medium and large force values and strip tension. The measurement accuracy reaches ±0.5% of the full scale, featuring low error and excellent repeatability to accurately capture subtle changes in load and tension. It adopts ABB's proprietary Pressductor® magnetoelastic sensing principle, which measures force by utilizing the characteristic of magnetic materials whose magnetic permeability changes under mechanical force. Equipped with a dedicated internal induction coil, it accurately senses potential changes and converts them into corresponding electrical signals, enabling non-contact measurement without physical displacement. It combines high sensitivity with an extremely strong overload resistance capacity — the overload capacity in the measuring (vertical) direction is up to 1000KN (225000lbs), and the transverse (horizontal) overload capacity is 500KN (112500lbs). It has no built-in load cycle limit and a long service life. The deflection is 0.05mm (2.0/1000 inch) and the spring constant is 2000KN/mm (11440×1000lbs/inch), with excellent rigidity suitable for high-stability measurement scenarios.
Power Supply and Signal Parameters: The power input supports a standard industrial power supply of AC 100-240V, 50/60Hz, adapting to industrial power supply systems in different regions without the need for additional dedicated power supplies. The output signals support mV/V analog signals, digital signals and current signals, and it is also equipped with USB/RS232 data transmission interfaces. The signal transmission method can be flexibly selected according to actual needs, facilitating seamless connection with data acquisition equipment, PLCs, controllers and industrial automation systems to realize real-time transmission, remote monitoring and subsequent processing of measurement data. The signal is a high-power, low-impedance AC signal with extremely strong resistance to electromagnetic interference and ground faults, suitable for complex industrial electrical environments.
Environmental Adaptation Parameters: The operating temperature range covers -20°C to 70°C, adapting to various complex temperature scenarios such as high-temperature industrial workshops and outdoor environments for long-term stable operation. The protection rating reaches IP65 (for the enclosed installation version), with excellent dust and water resistance to withstand erosion by dust and water vapor in industrial sites. It also supports the standard rail-mounted version to meet the installation requirements of different environments. Made of stainless steel (with corrosion resistance close to AISI 304), it has good corrosion resistance and is suitable for harsh industrial scenarios with high dust and humidity such as papermaking and chemical engineering. It complies with EMC standards and can resist industrial electromagnetic interference without additional protective enclosures.
Structural and Installation Parameters: It supports two installation methods — standard rail mounting and enclosed mounting for harsh environments, which can be flexibly selected according to on-site space and environmental conditions. Adopting a modular and compact design, the control unit is equipped with a pluggable screw terminal block at the bottom for convenient wiring and maintenance, and a built-in cable shielding grounding point to further enhance anti-interference capability. The overall structure is robust, adapting to the integrated installation requirements of industrial equipment. It can be directly installed at key measurement points such as strip production lines, hoisting equipment and test fixtures without complex installation and debugging procedures.
Additional Function Parameters: Equipped with a 2×16-bit multilingual digital display and function keys, it can intuitively display sum signals, difference signals or signals of each pressure head, facilitating parameter setting and status checking of the measurement system. It supports switching between multiple units (N, kN, MN, kp, t, lb, T) to adapt to the measurement habits of different regions and industries. Built-in self-diagnostic test system (including sensor testing) and simulation function enable quick fault troubleshooting and system integration checking, reducing maintenance difficulty. The filtering time can be adjusted within the range of 1-2000ms, with preset standard measurement modes and a built-in pressure head table. Setting parameters can be imported and exported via PC, supporting remote access and control.
