Description
ABB PFTL201C 10kN 3BSE007913R0010
I. Overview
ABB PFTL201C 10kN 3BSE007913R0010 is a pillow-type sensor, positioned as a "precision tension/load measurement unit for multi-scenario applications", and belongs to ABB Millmate tension measurement and industrial load monitoring product line. The sensor realizes measurement based on the principle that the magnetic properties of 17-4PH stainless steel change under mechanical stress. It can accurately capture force signals such as strip tension and rope load, and shield interference factors such as roller dead weight and environmental vibration through built-in algorithms to output stable and reliable data.
II. Core Features
Patented Magnetoelastic Technology & High-Precision Measurement: Based on Pressductor® magnetoelastic technology, it realizes force conversion by detecting the change of steel magnetic permeability with stress without relying on strain gauges. The nonlinear error is ≤±0.5% FS, repeatability is ≤±0.3% FS, and response time is <10ms. It can accurately capture dynamic tension/load changes and completely shield non-target force interference.
Superior Structural Strength & Overload Protection: Integrally formed from 17-4PH high-strength stainless steel, it has a rated load of 10kN and an extended load capacity of up to 15kN. The overload capacity in both transverse and measurement directions reaches 100kN (10 times the rated value). With excellent impact and corrosion resistance, it has a cyclic service life of over 5 million times, meeting the continuous operation requirements of heavy industry.
Wide Temperature Adaptability & Environmental Resistance: The operating temperature ranges from -20℃ to 80℃, and the temperature compensation range is from -10℃ to 60℃. A built-in temperature sensor enables full-temperature automatic compensation. With an IP67 protection rating and compliance with IEC 61000-4 electromagnetic compatibility standards, it can operate stably in environments with strong interference, high humidity and heavy dust without additional protective measures.
Flexible Integration & Multi-signal Output: Standard equipped with 4-20mA/0-10V analog output, and optional Profibus DP and EtherCAT digital communication interfaces, it is compatible with ABB PFEA series controllers and various PLC and DCS systems. Adopting a cylindrical plug + flange mounting design, it supports horizontal, vertical and inclined deployment to adapt to the installation space of different equipment.
- Intelligent Functions & Convenient Operation and Maintenance: Built-in signal conditioning and filtering circuits support linear/taper tension control strategies. Equipped with a dedicated calibration interface, it supports standard calibration of 0%/50%/100% rated load and on-site quick verification. Parameter setting and fault diagnosis can be realized through ABB special software, reducing operation and maintenance difficulty.

IV. Working Principle and Application Logic
The ABB PFTL201C 10kN sensor realizes precise force measurement based on the magnetoelastic effect following the core logic of "stress sensing - magnetic change conversion - signal conditioning - data output". Its core working process is as follows:
The sensor is installed at the load-bearing point (such as the strip conveyor roller pillow block or the fixed end of crane steel wire rope). When force acts on the sensor, the internal stainless steel inductor generates a tiny mechanical deformation (deflection is only 0.010mm), which causes linear changes in magnetic property parameters such as magnetic permeability, completing the conversion of mechanical stress into magnetic signals.
The built-in detection coil captures the changes in magnetic properties and converts them into weak electrical signals, which are amplified and filtered by the signal conditioning circuit to optimize signal quality. At the same time, the temperature compensation circuit offsets the influence of temperature changes, and the algorithm shields roller dead weight, lateral force and electromagnetic interference, retaining only the target tension/load signal.
The processed signal is converted into standard 4-20mA/0-10V analog or digital signals, and transmitted to the controller or upper computer system through shielded cables. It provides accurate data support for tension adjustment mechanisms and safety protection devices, realizing the coordinated operation of closed-loop control and load monitoring.
