ABB PFCL201C10KN Tension Sensor

Product Introduction

Designed specifically for galvanizing and pickling lines in metallurgical industry, the ABB PFCL201C10KN tension sensor features ABB exclusive Pressductor® magnetoelastic technology. It realizes contact-free tension measurement without moving components or mechanical wear. With corrosion-resistant structure and outstanding environmental adaptability, it stably monitors strip tension amid acid mist, moisture, dust and heavy vibration, acting as a key component to guarantee continuous and reliable operation of metal processing lines.

Core Advantages

1. Corrosion Resistance for Harsh Metallurgical Environments Integrated stainless steel body plus IP67 ingress protection, effectively resists acid fume, water splash and dust in pickling and galvanizing workshops, long service life under corrosive working conditions.
2. High Precision Tension Detection Rated load: 10 kN. Combined accuracy ±0.25% FS, repeatability ±0.1% FS and resolution 0.01% FS. Delivers accurate real-time tension data to keep steel strip tension consistent and ensure finished product quality.
3. Superior Overload Resistance 15 kN allowable overload (150% FS); 100 kN ultimate vertical overload and 25 kN ultimate lateral overload. Effectively withstands sudden load fluctuations during line startup, shutdown and normal operation.
4. Stable Performance in Wide Temperature Range Operating temperature: -40°C to +80°C. Built-in temperature compensation minimizes signal drift when ambient temperature changes sharply.
5. Low Maintenance & High Reliability Contact-free measuring principle eliminates friction and abrasion, cutting down routine maintenance work and reducing downtime.
6. Flexible Signal & Easy Installation Classic pillow-block structure for fast bolt mounting. Standard 2 mV/V output, optional 4-20 mA and 0-10 V analog signals. Supports RS485, Modbus RTU, Profibus DP for seamless connection with various industrial control systems.
