ABB PFTL301E 1.0kN 3BSE019050R1000 Pressductor Pillow‑Block Tension Load Cell

The PFTL301E‑1.0kN belongs to the ABB Millmate web tension measuring system. It is a magneto‑elastic pillow‑block load cell adopting ABB proprietary Pressductor measuring principle, with a rated load of 1.0 kN. It converts compressive mechanical force generated by web tension into millivolt‑level raw induction signals. This load cell cannot work independently and must be used with PFEA series tension amplifiers for signal conditioning before transmitting measurement values to DCS or PLC systems. Widely used in papermaking, thin‑film, foil, textile and non‑woven production lines for real‑time web‑tension monitoring. The sensor only completes force‑to‑electric conversion without built‑in signal‑processing logic. A complete tension‑measuring system consists of load cell, junction box and tension amplifier.

Description

Hardware and Performance Specifications

Rated load: 1.0 kN; permissible overload in measuring direction: 5.0 kN (500 % rated load); allowable transverse load: 10 kN. Accuracy class: ±0.5 %FS; repeatability: 0.1 %FS. Full‑load deflection: 0.012 mm, high‑rigidity mechanical structure.

Stainless‑steel housing, protection class IP65. Operating temperature range: ‑20 ℃ ~ +70 ℃. Internal excitation‑coil assembly outputs millivolt‑level raw signals. Direct connection to DCS analog‑input modules is prohibited; external PFEA amplifier is mandatory. Excessive lateral force will cause minor measuring deviation.

Main Functions

When web tension acts on the measuring roll, compressive force is transferred to PFTL301E‑1.0kN. Applied mechanical stress changes magnetic permeability of internal magneto‑elastic alloy, and the secondary coil outputs induction voltage proportional to the acting force. Normally two load cells are installed at both ends of the roll shaft; total web tension is obtained by summing signals from two sensors.

Zero‑point adjustment, span calibration and fault diagnosis are all completed on the PFEA amplifier unit. No calibration function is available on the sensor hardware itself. Compared with PFTL101 series, PFTL301E features compact installation dimension, optimized for narrow‑width web production lines.

Cannot operate independently. Junction box and supporting tension amplifier are required for connection to upper‑level control equipment.

Difference compared with PFTL101A‑1.0kN: PFTL301E has smaller overall footprint for limited installation space; PFTL101A is standard size for general‑purpose tension measurement. Both adopt Pressductor magneto‑elastic principle.
Installation Requirement

Mount on sufficiently rigid supporting base. Roll‑shaft end shall apply pure vertical compressive force onto the sensor measuring surface. Bending moment and torsion load are strictly forbidden. Mounting‑base deformation will directly lead to measuring error. Use dedicated shielded signal cables and separate them from high‑power cables to reduce electromagnetic interference. Zero‑point and span calibration must be performed at amplifier side after sensor replacement.

Typical Application Scenarios

Paper machines, plastic‑film, aluminum‑foil, textile and non‑woven production lines with narrow web width, for roll‑mounted web‑tension detection and closed‑loop tension control.
