PFTL301E-0.2kN by ABB | Mini Series Web Tension Sensor

Product Overview

The ABB PFTL301E-0.2kN load cell is a precision tension sensor designed for web processing applications where accuracy and reliability are essential. As part of ABB’s renowned Millmate Web Tension System, it measures only the horizontal component of web tension—unaffected by roller weight—ensuring stable and repeatable performance even under dynamic load conditions.

Built on ABB’s patented Pressductor® electromagnetic technology, the PFTL301E series delivers contactless, drift-free force measurement. This eliminates the need for recalibration and minimizes long-term maintenance, making it ideal for continuous production environments. Moreover, its rugged PillowBlock design allows for straightforward installation in place of conventional load cells without modification.
