Tag: ABB PFTL101A-2.0KN

Description

The ABB PFTL101A-2.0KN 3BSE004172R1 is a compact,high-precision tension load cell designed for real-time force measurement in industrial lifting,material handling,and safety-critical automation systems.Combining a robust stainless steel mechanical structure with integrated signal conditioning,it delivers a stable 4–20 mA output proportional to applied tensile force—ideal for direct connection to PLCs,DCS,or safety relays.

As part of ABB’s(now Hitachi Energy)industrial sensor portfolio,this 2 kN-rated load measuring link ensures accurate overload detection,weight verification,and dynamic force monitoring in applications ranging from robotic arms to crane hoists.

Application Scenarios

At an automotive assembly plant in Germany,robotic welding arms frequently experienced unexpected stops due to unverified payload variations.Engineers installed the ABB PFTL101A-2.0KN 3BSE004172R1 between the robot flange and end-effector to monitor real-time tool weight.The 4–20 mA signal fed directly into an AC 800M PLC,triggering alerts if deviations exceeded±3%.Within weeks,unplanned downtime dropped by 45%,and tool-change validation became fully automated.For this facility,the ABB PFTL101A-2.0KN 3BSE004172R1 transformed a simple mechanical link into an intelligent diagnostic node—enhancing both safety and productivity.

Technical Principles and Innovative Values

Innovation Point 1:Integrated Loop-Powered Electronics–Unlike traditional strain gauge bridges requiring external amplifiers,the ABB PFTL101A-2.0KN 3BSE004172R1 includes built-in signal conditioning,delivering a calibrated 4–20 mA signal directly—reducing wiring complexity and noise susceptibility.

Innovation Point 2:True Tension-Only Design–Engineered to respond exclusively to axial tensile loads,rejecting side forces and bending moments that could cause false readings in dynamic lifting applications.

Innovation Point 3:Functional Safety Ready–When paired with a safety PLC(e.g.,ABB AC 500-S),the load cell can contribute to SIL 2/PL d safety functions such as“overload stop”or“unbalanced load detection.”

Innovation Point 4:Robust Mechanical Integrity–Fatigue-tested to 10⁷cycles at 100%load,ensuring long-term reliability in high-cycle automation like palletizing robots or conveyor tensioners.

Innovation Point 5:Plug-and-Play PLC Integration–The 4–20 mA output maps linearly to 0–2 kN,enabling immediate use in ABB AC 800M,Siemens S7,or Rockwell ControlLogix systems without scaling logic.

Application Cases and Industry Value

A port terminal in Singapore retrofitted its container gantry cranes with ABB PFTL101A-2.0KN 3BSE004172R1 units on spreader twistlocks to verify container engagement before lift-off.Previously,misaligned containers caused structural stress and near-misses.With real-time tension feedback,the crane control system now halts movement if force asymmetry exceeds threshold—preventing damage and improving operator confidence.Over 18 months,spreader-related maintenance costs fell by 62%.

In a pharmaceutical lab automation project,the ABB PFTL101A-2.0KN 3BSE004172R1 was used in a precision liquid-handling robot to detect vial insertion force.This ensured consistent sealing without cracking glass—a critical requirement for sterile workflows.The sensor’s±0.5 N resolution and cleanroom-compatible finish made it the only solution meeting both metrological and regulatory needs.
