Extended Capacity Dynamic Limit: Up to 7.5 kN (1,687 lbs-force)

Maximum Safe Overload Capacity: * In primary measuring direction: 25.0 kN (500% of nominal rating)

Transverse/side-load direction: 10.0 kN

Axial/thrust path: 25.0 kN

Spring Constant: 500 kN/mm (Extremely rigid construction resulting in negligible mechanical deflection under load)

Deflection Distance: Only 0.01 mm at full nominal 5.0 kN load capacity

Accuracy Class: ±0.1% to ±0.25% of full-scale rating

Repeatability: Within ±0.1% of nominal range

Output Signal Profile: 2 mV/V typical sensor baseline bridge response (which feeds into external controllers to translate into standard filtered 4-20 mA DC loop outputs)

Nominal Excitation Input Range: 10 to 30 V DC supply derived via system controller integration

ABB PFTL101B-5.0KN 3BSE004191R1 Product Key Advantages

Unbeatable Overload Survival Capacity: Capable of absorbing severe process shocks and web snaps up to 500% of its nominal force capacity without experiencing internal calibration shift, structural strain, or physical damage.

Zero Mechanical Movement & Deflection: Featuring a massive spring constant that restricts physical movement to just 0.01 mm at maximum capacity. This prevents changes in web path geometry and minimizes tracking errors.

Calibration-Free Long-Term Operation: Since the magneto-elastic properties of a single block of steel remain fixed over decades of cycles, the PFTL101B eliminates the need for periodic mechanical recalibration, reducing costly production downtime.

High Contamination Tolerance: With an IP67 rating and a solid-metal architecture, the sensor is completely unaffected by fine paper dust, metallic scale, oils, moisture, or chemical wash-downs that easily destroy competitive strain-gauge variants.

Excellent Noise Immunity: Produces low-impedance, high-power output signals that possess an innate resistance to high-voltage industrial background spikes, electromagnetic interference (EMI), and common earth ground faults.

ABB PFTL101B-5.0KN 3BSE004191R1 Wiring & Connection Interfacing

Electrical Termination

Because the PFTL101B operates using low-impedance AC magneto-elastic generation rather than delicate resistive foils, it maintains dedicated signal paths to maximize safety isolation:

Terminal Board Interfacing: Field cabling links the load cell directly to an industrial junction box or an ABB signal processing unit (such as a PFEA controller series) using a robust pluggable connector array or heavy-duty wire glands.

Cable Shielding Requirements: High-quality, twisted-pair shielded cable configurations must be used. Shield braids must carry solid ground terminations at a single reference point to shield from adjacent motor-drive high-frequency induction.

Isolation Capabilities: Integrated port isolation bounds prevent grounding loops up to 120 V DC.

Mounting & Installation Alignment

Pillow Block Positioning: The load cell is machined for placement beneath standard roller bearings on a rigid machine base frame. It must be carefully leveled; any structural deflection or mechanical twisting of the mounting surface can manifest as a baseline force error.

Force Sensitivity Alignment: The internal sensor elements are specifically oriented to react to force vectors applied perpendicular to the mounting base (horizontal shear configurations) while staying functionally blind to vertical compression vectors.
