PFTL101A-2.0kN 3BSE004172R1 Piezomagnetic indenter PFTL101

ABB horizontal pillow tensiometer heads are available in three sizes: Standard PFTL 101A/B, which is

commonly used in conventional metal handling lines. The indenter is suitable for applications with heavy

rolls, wide tension ranges and high operating speeds.
PFTL 101AE/BE is recommended for strip tension measurement applications with emulsion in cold

rolling, annealing and zinc plating lines. The PFTL 101AE/BE indenter uses a fixed connection cable and

is protected to IP 66 for accurate and reliable long-term operation in emulsion applications.

All ABB tensiometer indenters are calibrated at delivery.
The acid proof PFTL 101AER/BER indenter is designed for pickling lines and is rated IP 66/67.

The piezomagnetic indenter PFTL101 is a sensor that operates on the piezomagnetic effect and is

specifically designed to measure the tension of various materials. When a material is subjected to

pressure, its magnetism changes, allowing the force applied to the material to be measured.

This type of indenter has a wide range of applications in the metallurgical industry, especially those with

low tension, heavy roll and high running speed. ABB’s PFTL101 series indenters are available in a variety

of sizes to suit different application requirements. For example, the standard PFTL 101A/B is commonly

used in conventional metal handling lines, while the rolled PFTL 101AE/BE is particularly suitable for strip

tension measurement applications with emulsifiers. In addition, the acid-proof PFTL 101AER/BER indenter is specially designed for pickling lines.

The working principle of the PFTL101 indenter is that when the material with a certain tension passes through the

guide roller at a certain Angle, the indenter will produce the corresponding pressure signal. These pressure

signals are then sent to the processing unit and converted into the tension value of the material. The tension

value is then sent to the automated system through a specific interface to achieve closed-loop control of the material tension.

To ensure accuracy and reliability, all ABB tensiometer indenters are calibrated at delivery. In addition, the

indenter also has a high level of protection, such as the rolling model of PFTL 101AE/BE indenter

up to IP 66, can work stably in harsh environments for a long time.

Overall, the piezomagnetic indenter PFTL101 is a high performance, high precision tension measuring

device that can meet the needs of a variety of metal processing line applications. In actual use, appropriate

specifications and models should be selected according to specific application scenarios and requirements.
