Product Description

PFTL101B-5.0KN belongs to the ABB PFTL101 series (Pressductor PillowBlock horizontal force sensor), used for measuring tension / pull force in the horizontal direction. It features a fully stainless steel sealed structure, IP67 protection, built-in temperature compensation, and is suitable for industrial sites with high humidity, dust, and vibration. It offers fast response and good long-term stability, and is often used in conjunction with the PFEA11x series tension controllers to form a closed-loop system. ABB Group. Model Interpretation
