Product Description

The PFCL201C-10KN belongs to the ABB PFCL201 series (Pressductor PillowBlock Load Cell), which is a compact and highly rigid pillow-type sensor. It integrates a magnetic elastic steel diaphragm and windings inside and is sensitive only to vertical forces. It has strong suppression capabilities for lateral/axial forces. It features a fully stainless steel sealed structure, IP67 protection, and is suitable for harsh industrial environments. It is stable and requires no maintenance over the long term.
