Description:

The ABB PFTL101B 20KN 3BSE004203R1 is a high-precision tension load cell,specifically engineered for accurate force and tension measurement in industrial processes.As a core component of ABB’s tension control system,this 20KN(20,000 Newton)capacity sensor converts mechanical tension into stable analog electrical signals,seamlessly integrating with ABB PFEA series tension controllers and AC 800M DCS.It features robust construction,IP67 protection,and exceptional long-term stability,making it ideal for demanding applications where precise tension control directly impacts product quality and material efficiency.

Application Scenarios:

A leading European steel processing plant faced persistent issues with uneven strip thickness during cold rolling,caused by inaccurate tension measurement from legacy load cells.The plant’s old sensors had±1%measurement error and frequent drift,leading to 12%of steel strips being rejected for thickness deviations and monthly material losses of€180,000.After deploying the ABB PFTL101B 20KN 3BSE004203R1 in its rolling lines,the plant achieved±0.1%measurement accuracy and stable long-term performance.The load cell’s robust design withstood the dusty,high-vibration environment,and its seamless integration with ABB PFEA111-65 controllers enabled real-time tension adjustment.Within two months,strip rejection rates dropped to 2%,and the plant saved over€150,000 annually.The ABB PFTL101B 20KN 3BSE004203R1 effectively solved the core pain points of measurement inaccuracy and environmental vulnerability,becoming a cornerstone of the plant’s quality control system.

Technical Principles and Innovative Values:

-Innovation Point 1:High-Precision Strain Gauge Technology–The ABB PFTL101B 20KN 3BSE004203R1 uses four high-stability strain gauges in a Wheatstone bridge configuration,achieving±0.1%accuracy—10x more precise than legacy load cells(±1%).This reduces tension control deviations by 90%in applications like foil rolling.

-Innovation Point 2:Wide Temperature Compensation–Advanced temperature compensation technology ensures consistent performance across-20°C to+80°C,eliminating signal drift caused by environmental temperature changes.This maintains accuracy in cold storage packaging lines and high-temperature metal processing.

-Innovation Point 3:Robust IP67 Protection–The stainless steel housing with IP67 rating protects internal components from dust,water splashes,and chemical exposure,extending the sensor’s lifespan to 10+years in harsh industrial environments—double the lifespan of IP54-rated alternatives.

-Innovation Point 4:Seamless ABB System Integration–Pre-calibrated for ABB PFEA111-65/112 tension controllers and AC 800M DCS,the ABB PFTL101B 20KN 3BSE004203R1 eliminates the need for manual calibration,reducing setup time by 70%compared to third-party sensors.

Application Cases and Industry Value:

Case 1:Textile Dyeing and Finishing Plant–A Chinese textile manufacturer integrated 40 units of the ABB PFTL101B 20KN 3BSE004203R1 into its stenter frames to monitor fabric tension.Legacy sensors had frequent drift,causing fabric stretching and color unevenness with a 15%defect rate.The PFTL101B’s stability and precision reduced defects to 3%,and its corrosion-resistant stainless steel housing withstood the humid,dye-laden environment.The plant saved¥280,000 annually in material costs and improved customer satisfaction.

Case 2:Wind Turbine Cable Manufacturing–A German wind energy component supplier used the ABB PFTL101B 20KN 3BSE004203R1 in its cable winding lines to ensure consistent tension during insulation extrusion.The load cell’s±0.1%accuracy prevented cable over-tensioning(which causes conductor damage)and under-tensioning(which leads to loose insulation).This reduced cable failure rates in the field by 45%and strengthened the supplier’s partnership with major wind turbine OEMs,increasing annual revenue by 12%.
