Description
Product Description
The ABB PFTL101B 5.0KN (3BSE004191R1) is a Pressductor PillowBlock load cell designed for horizontal force measurement and web tension monitoring. Using ABB’s magneto-elastic sensing technology, it measures mechanical forces generated by supported rolls in continuous production lines. Typical applications include paper manufacturing, printing, coating, winding, metal processing, and other web-handling systems. It is designed to operate with a compatible signal-conditioning unit as part of a tension measurement and control system.
