The ABB PFTL101A offers a plethora of functional strengths that set it apart in the industrial landscape. Engineered with high – precision sensor technology, it provides extremely accurate tension measurements. This precision is vital as even the slightest deviation in tension can lead to product defects or inefficiencies in industrial processes. The sensor is designed to be highly durable, with a rugged construction that can withstand the harsh conditions often found in industrial environments. It can endure vibrations, mechanical stress, and temperature variations without compromising its performance, ensuring long – term reliability.

The PFTL101A also features a user – friendly design. Its compact size and easy – to – install pillow block design make it suitable for integration into existing machinery and systems. The sensor can be quickly and securely mounted, minimizing installation time and effort. Additionally, it offers multiple output signal options, such as analog signals (e.g., 4 – 20mA) and digital signals (e.g., through communication interfaces like RS485), which allows for seamless integration with different control systems and monitoring devices. This versatility enables operators to easily incorporate the PFTL101A into their industrial automation setups, whether it’s a small – scale production line or a large – scale industrial complex.
The ABB PFTL101A has three main versions to suit different industrial scenarios. The standard PFTL101A/B is commonly used in general industrial applications, especially in the paper industry for a wide range of equipment like paper machines and coaters. For measuring the tension of paper in the dryer sections of paper machines, the PFTL101AE/BE (mill duty version) is recommended. It has a fixed connection cable and an IP66 protection grade, providing reliable and long – lasting performance in this specific environment. The PFTL101AER/BER (acid – resistant version) is designed for the wet end of paper machines, with an even higher protection grade of IP66/67, making it suitable for the corrosive conditions present in this part of the papermaking process.
Several models are related to the ABB PFTL101A. The PFTL101B, for instance, has a different force range (2 – 20 kN), which can be used in applications where higher tension levels need to be measured. The PFCL201C is a vertical load cell with a cylindrical plug connection, used for measuring vertical forces, and can be used in combination with the PFTL101A in some complex industrial setups where both horizontal and vertical forces need to be monitored. The PFCL201CE/DE is a mill – duty version of the vertical load cell, similar to the PFTL101AE/BE, with enhanced protection features for specific industrial environments. The PFTL101AE and PFTL101AER are variants of the PFTL101A with specific design features for different application requirements, such as the fixed cable connection and higher protection grades mentioned earlier.
