Pressductor PillowBlock load cells - vertical force measurement (PFCL301E)
The Vertical Mini Series PillowBlock is a "true" vertical force load cell and measures only the total sum of the force components that are at a right angle to its top surface.
Overview
The Web tension load cell is designed to measure vertical forces in both directions in most types of web processing machinery used in the converting, plastic film, printing, textiles, and other industries.
- Quality load cells that eliminates drift and recalibration
- Wide operating range
- Easy to apply

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 produce 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.
