Overview
The ABB PFCL-301E-0.2KN Pressductor PillowBlock load cell is a precision force measurement sensor designed for vertical force applications. This compact pillowblock design integrates seamlessly into web tension systems and is widely used across converting, plastic film processing, printing, textile, and industrial machinery applications. The 0.2 kN nominal capacity makes it ideal for light-to-medium force measurement where accuracy and durability are essential.
Key Features
- Vertical force measurement orientation for web tension control
- Compact pillowblock form factor for easy integration into existing machinery
- Nominal load capacity: 0.2 kN (45 lbs)
- Pressductor sealed sensor technology for reliable long-term performance
- Suitable for converting, film processing, printing, textile and similar industries
- Integrated mounting with standard adapter plates
Technical Specifications
The PFCL-301E-0.2KN is engineered to stringent ABB standards with consistent calibration and output linearity across its operating range. Load cells in this family undergo individual calibration and employ a precision sensor welded into a machine-steel house, oriented for maximum sensitivity in the vertical measurement axis and minimal crosstalk from lateral forces.
Typical Applications
This load cell is commonly deployed in:
- Web tension measurement systems in converting lines
- Plastic film and extrusion machinery tension control
- Print media tension monitoring
- Textile processing and weaving equipment
- Material handling and conveyor belt systems requiring vertical force feedback
- OEM equipment requiring 0.2 kN measurement capacity
Compatibility & Replacements
The PFCL-301E-0.2KN integrates with ABB’s broad Pressductor pillowblock family, including the PFCL-201, PFTL-301E (horizontal variant), and other series offering nominal loads from 0.1 to 20 kN. When specifying replacements or upgrades, confirm measurement orientation (vertical vs. horizontal), connector type, and nominal load range. ABB offers multiple variants to match OEM equipment configurations. Surplus availability ensures rapid replacement and system recovery.
