The ABB PFTL101 load cell is designed for accurate and reliable force and tension measurement in demanding industrial environments. Its rugged one-piece stainless steel construction, high elasticity coefficient, and advanced electromagnetic pressure conductor® technology ensure superior performance under high overload, impact, and vibration conditions.

Product Features

Sturdy Structure:
Constructed from a single piece of stainless steel, the sensor body is precision-machined directly from the steel plate. It features a high elasticity coefficient, excellent mechanical strength, and can withstand high overloads, shocks, and vibrations.

Durable Connection Design:
Equipped with an acid-resistant cable gland and a PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) insulated connection cable (20 m length), providing excellent protection against corrosion and mechanical wear. Suitable for harsh environments such as galvanized or pickled wire production lines.

Advanced Technology:
Utilizes ABB’s Electromagnetic Pressure Conductor® technology, delivering accurate, stable, and repeatable force measurement across a wide load range.

High Reliability:
Low zero and sensitivity drift ensure consistent performance across varying temperature and load conditions, enhancing process stability and control accuracy.
