Key Features

• Pressductor® Technology: Based on the magnetoelastic effect, where steel’s magnetic properties change under mechanical stress, enabling drift-free measurement without recalibration.
• High Overload Resistance: Withstands up to 300% of rated load without damage, ensuring durability in harsh environments.
• Compact and Robust Design: Stainless steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical stability.
• Fast Response Time: Captures rapid tension changes accurately, making it suitable for high-speed production lines.
• Easy Integration: Compatible with ABB’s Millmate control units (e.g., PFCA401) and supports various communication protocols for seamless system integration.

Functional Characteristics

• Precision Measurement: Provides highly accurate tension data, critical for maintaining product quality in processes like paper reeling, metal rolling, and film extrusion.
• Stable Performance: The magnetoelastic principle ensures long-term stability, eliminating the need for frequent recalibration.
• Environmental Adaptability: IP67 rating allows operation in dusty, humid, or wet conditions without performance degradation.
• Mechanical Protection: Requires proper adapter plates for installation to prevent point loading or misalignment, ensuring reliable operation.

Application Scenarios

• Paper Manufacturing: Measures paper tension during reeling and unwinding to prevent breakage and ensure uniform thickness.
• Metal Processing: Monitors tension in steel strip or aluminum foil rolling processes to maintain consistent thickness and surface quality.
• Plastics Extrusion: Controls film tension in blow molding or cast film lines to prevent stretching or wrinkling, ensuring product uniformity.
• Textile Industry: Regulates yarn or fabric tension during weaving or dyeing to avoid defects and improve production efficiency.
• Wire and Cable Production: Maintains consistent tension during drawing and cabling to reduce breakage and enhance product quality.

Additional Information

• Installation Requirements: Must be mounted horizontally with the measuring direction aligned with the applied force. Tilted installation may cause measurement errors.
• Maintenance: Regular inspection and cleaning are recommended to ensure optimal performance. Professional calibration is advised every 12 months (or 6 months in harsh environments).
• Compatibility: Works with ABB’s PFCA401 control unit and other Millmate series products for comprehensive tension control solutions.
