ABB PFTL201D pillow tensiometer horizontal load cell

Working principle
When the horizontal tension acts on the load cell of the PFTL201D pillow tensiometer, the internal elastomer will deform accordingly. The elastic body is pasted with a strain gauge, and the strain gauge will change the resistance value with the deformation of the elastic body. According to Wheatstone’s bridge principle, the strain gauge is composed of a bridge circuit. When the resistance of the strain gauge changes, the bridge will output a weak voltage signal proportional to the tension. After a series of processing, such as amplification and filtering, the signal is converted into a standard electrical signal output for subsequent measurement and control equipment to analyze and process. By measuring and analyzing the output signal, the magnitude of the applied horizontal tension can be accurately obtained.

Performance advantage
Wide force measurement range: The force measurement range is 50-100KN, which can meet the measurement needs of large tension in a variety of industrial occasions. Whether it is in heavy machinery manufacturing, large-scale metal processing or other areas requiring high-precision tension control, it can play an excellent measurement role.
High precision measurement: Advanced measurement technology and precision manufacturing process ensure high precision measurement in the entire range of force measurement. Its measurement accuracy can usually reach ±0.5% FS (full scale) or higher, providing reliable data support for accurate tension control.
Good linearity and repeatability: Over the entire measurement range, the PFTL201D has excellent linearity, showing a good linear relationship between the output signal and the actual tension, which is easy for users to process and analyze data. At the same time, the repeatability error is very small, that is, when the same tension value is measured many times under the same measurement conditions, stable and consistent results can be obtained, which is crucial for industrial production processes that require long-term stable operation.

Application field
Large metal processing equipment: In large rolling mills, metal drawing machines and other equipment, PFTL201D can be used to measure and control the horizontal tension of metal materials during processing. By monitoring tension changes in real time, operators can adjust equipment parameters in time to ensure the processing quality of metal materials and prevent problems such as excessive stretching, breakage or uneven deformation.
Heavy machinery manufacturing: In the manufacturing and commissioning of heavy machinery such as cranes and cranes, PFTL201D can be used to measure the tension of load-bearing components such as wire ropes or chains. This helps to ensure the safety and reliability of the equipment and avoid equipment failures or safety accidents caused by uneven or excessive tension.
Large logistics transportation equipment: In large logistics transportation equipment such as conveyor belts and elevators, PFTL201D can be used to monitor the tension of conveyor belts or traction chains. By maintaining proper tension, transportation efficiency can be improved, equipment wear can be reduced, and equipment service life can be extended.
