Main features and advantages
The ABB PFTL301E 1.0 kN 3BSE019050R1000 utilizes innovative Pressductor® transducer principles which exploit magnetoelastic properties to generate signals independent of mechanical deformation. This design ensures near-zero drift, high overload tolerance, and virtually unlimited load cycle endurance—making the ABB PFTL301E 1.0 kN 3BSE019050R1000 exceptionally reliable in continuous-duty industrial web processes. Mounted identically to conventional load cells, it simplifies retrofitting and maintenance.
Because it isolates horizontal force measurement, the ABB PFTL301E 1.0 kN 3BSE019050R1000 ensures optimal load cell performance by operating at the upper range of its capacity where linearity and sensitivity are maximized. This enhances control system response and feedback stability under variable roll weight or dynamic tension conditions. Furthermore, its precision construction coupled with compact dimensions enables quick installation in tight panel spaces without compromising measurement integrity. Its wide operating range and rugged mechanical properties ensure consistent, accurate tension control—a critical advantage for high-speed web processing environments.

Installation and maintenance
Pre-installation preparations: Before installing the ABB PFTL301E 1.0 kN 3BSE019050R1000, ensure that the mounting surfaces are flat, clean, and aligned to prevent measurement inaccuracies. The cable and adapter plates should be verified for proper length and orientation to avoid undue stress during operation. Confirm that the pillow-block dimensions match the space requirements and that load cell orientation is horizontal for correct tension capture.
Maintenance suggestions: Inspect the ABB PFTL301E 1.0 kN 3BSE019050R1000 periodically for mechanical wear or cable damage, particularly in environments with vibration or temperature fluctuation. It is advisable to monitor the output stability over time to detect drift early. Calibration intervals should follow operational load profiles, but Pressductor® technology’s minimal drift often allows extended calibration cycles. Keep the load cell free from debris and ensure load transmission components remain securely fastened for uninterrupted performance.
Application fields
The ABB PFTL301E 1.0 kN 3BSE019050R1000 excels across industries where precise web tension control is paramount. In paper manufacturing, the sensor maintains consistent tension through unwinding, coating, and rewinding stages to ensure product uniformity. Textile and plastic film processes benefit from its fast response and stable readings, preventing sagging or tearing during high-speed production. In printing and converting operations, the ABB PFTL301E 1.0 kN 3BSE019050R1000 underpins accurate registration and material alignment. Furthermore, in non-woven and packaging industries, enhanced load cell resilience supports dynamic tension environments where sudden load fluctuations are routine. The accurate horizontal measurement capability ensures operators can fine-tune tension feedback loops, reducing downtime and improving product quality, especially in processes where heavy rolls might otherwise mask tension signals.
