Product Overview
The ABB PFTL101B 20KN 3BSE004203R1 is a high-precision pillow block tension sensor designed for industrial applications requiring reliable force measurement in dynamic environments. As part of ABB’s PFTL series, this sensor leverages advanced Pressductor® technology to convert mechanical stress into an electrical signal, enabling accurate monitoring of tension and compression forces in materials such as strips, wires, and webs. Engineered for durability and performance, the PFTL101B 20KN is widely adopted in industries including metallurgy, paper manufacturing, automotive production, and chemical processing, where precise force control is critical for quality assurance and operational efficiency.
The PFTL101B 20KN features a robust stainless-steel construction and a compact pillow block design, allowing seamless integration into existing machinery and production lines. Its horizontal force-measuring element ensures optimal sensitivity to tension variations while minimizing interference from external factors like vibration and temperature fluctuations. With a measuring range of 2.0–20.0 kN and a protection class of IP66/IP67, this sensor excels in harsh conditions, including wet environments such as paper machine wet ends. By delivering real-time data to control systems, the PFTL101B 20KN empowers operators to maintain consistent tension levels, reduce material waste, and enhance overall process stability.
