Description
ABB PFTL101B 2.0KN 3BSE004185R1 Tension Sensor
Brand: ABB | Model: PFTL101B 2.0KN | Part Number: 3BSE004185R1
A high-performance industrial tension sensor engineered by ABB, the PFTL101B 2.0KN (3BSE004185R1) is designed to deliver precise, reliable tension and compression force measurement in demanding industrial environments. Leveraging ABB’s proprietary Pressductor® magneto-elastic technology, this sensor combines exceptional accuracy, robust durability, and wide adaptability, making it an indispensable component for automated production lines across multiple industries.
Product Highlights
- High Precision Measurement: Adopts magneto-elastic (piezomagnetic) principle, with a measurement accuracy of up to ±0.25% FSO (at 220V AC power supply) and a comprehensive error of ≤0.03% F.S., ensuring accurate capture of even micro-force fluctuations as small as 0.5N.
- Robust & Durable Construction: Features 316L stainless steel housing with laser-welded sealing, offering IP67/IP68 protection rating to resist dust, moisture, and corrosive gases in harsh industrial settings. The design ensures a long service life of up to 15 years, reducing equipment replacement frequency by 60%.
- Excellent Environmental Adaptability: Operates stably in a wide temperature range of -20℃ to +70℃ (storage temperature: -30℃ to +85℃) and has strong anti-interference ability with built-in RF interference filters, suitable for high-electromagnetic environments such as steel plants and chemical factories.
- Superior Overload Tolerance: Unique design separates sensitivity from overload resistance, with an overload capacity of 150% of the rated load, avoiding damage caused by sudden force surges during operation.
- Easy Integration: Outputs a standard 4-20mA analog signal, compatible with mainstream industrial control systems (PLC, HMI) and seamlessly integrable with existing ABB automation systems, minimizing deployment disruption.
