Pressductor PillowBlock Load cells - vertical force measurement

Strip tension load cells PFCL241-SE is an excellent choice in Cluster rolling mills and other mill applications where strip tensions are high. It can also be used in high tension application in process lines.

Overview

The load cell is a solid tensiometer made from stainless steel with exceptional ruggedness and high spring constant in line with other Pressductor PillowBlock load cells. It can be installed under the bearing housing and senses the vertical force, measuring in both directions.
The high-tension force sensors PFCL241-SE are available as mill-proof version with fixed connection cable in protective hose.

Pressductor® Technology

The first Pressductor transducer was developed in Västerås, Sweden, in the early 1950's and patented in 1954.

 

ABB's well-known Pressductor® Technology is a measurement principle based on the magnetoelastic effect - the magnetic properties of a material are influenced by the mechanical force applied to it.



 

When exposed to mechanical force, ABB's Pressductor transducer produces measurement signals as a result of changes in magnetic fields. Because these signals are not contingent upon physical movement or deformation, the load cells combine sensitivity with extraordinary tolerance to overloads and virtually no built-in limit to the number of load cycles.



 

The ABB Pressductor transducers produces high-power, low-impedance AC signals that are very resistant to electrical interference and earth faults.



 

ABB's Pressductor transducer stands for unbeatable load cell performance, thanks to its unique combination of accuracy, overload capacity and ability to withstand harsh environments. 
By using this technology you will achieve higher quality and reliability, especially under 
demanding conditions.
