Product introduction

The ABB PFTL201D 100KN 3BSE008922R0100 is a high-precision tension/compression load cell designed to measure force in industrial applications requiring accurate weight or tension monitoring. As a key component in ABB’s process measurement portfolio, ABB PFTL201D 100KN 3BSE008922R0100 converts mechanical force into a proportional 4-20 mA electrical signal, enabling real-time monitoring and control of processes involving material handling, batch weighing, or tension regulation.

ABB PFTL201D 100KN 3BSE008922R0100 features a robust stainless steel construction with an IP68 protection rating, making it suitable for harsh environments including wet, dusty, or corrosive settings. Its 0.1% full-scale accuracy ensures reliable measurement in critical applications, while its wide temperature range allows deployment in extreme industrial conditions. Whether integrated with analog input modules like the ABB DSCA114 57510001-AA or connected to HMI panels such as the XVC517AE10, ABB PFTL201D 100KN 3BSE008922R0100 provides essential force data, enhancing process efficiency, safety, and quality control in industries ranging from mining to food processing.

Core advantages and technical highlights

Exceptional measurement accuracy: ABB PFTL201D 100KN 3BSE008922R0100 delivers 0.1% full-scale accuracy across its 0-100 kN range, with tight control over linearity, hysteresis, and repeatability. This precision ensures that even small force variations—such as a 50 kgf change in a 10,000 kgf batch—are detected and measured accurately. In a chemical batching system, this level of accuracy prevents overfilling or underfilling of reactors, ensuring product consistency and reducing raw material waste by up to 2%.

Rugged design for harsh environments: Constructed from 17-4 PH stainless steel and sealed to IP68 standards, ABB PFTL201D 100KN 3BSE008922R0100 withstands immersion in water (up to 10 m for 168 hours), exposure to chemicals, and extreme temperatures (-30°C to 80°C). In a steel mill’s hot rolling process, where water sprays and high ambient temperatures are common, the load cell reliably measures the tension in steel strips without performance degradation, ensuring consistent product thickness.

Minimal temperature influence: With temperature effects of just ±0.01% FS/°C for both zero and span, ABB PFTL201D 100KN 3BSE008922R0100 maintains accuracy even as environmental temperatures fluctuate. In a refrigerated warehouse’s pallet weighing system, this stability ensures that measurements taken at -20°C are as accurate as those at 20°C, preventing errors in inventory tracking or shipping calculations.

Easy integration with control systems: The 4-20 mA 2-wire output of ABB PFTL201D 100KN 3BSE008922R0100 allows direct connection to standard analog input modules like the DSCA114, PLCs, or SCADA systems without requiring specialized interface hardware. This plug-and-play compatibility reduces installation complexity and integration costs, while the extendable cable (up to 30 m) provides flexibility in mounting locations—critical for large-scale applications like crane load monitoring.

Typical application scenarios

In a mining operation’s conveyor belt system, ABB PFTL201D 100KN 3BSE008922R0100 load cells are installed at the belt supports to measure the tension of the conveyor belt. The 4-20 mA output is sent to a DSCA114 analog input module, which transmits data to a PM633 PLC. The PLC uses this information to adjust the belt drive speed, maintaining optimal tension to prevent slippage or excessive wear. The load cell’s IP68 rating protects it from dust and water spray in the mine, while its temperature stability ensures accurate measurements despite the variable ambient conditions underground.

In a food processing plant’s ingredient mixing system, ABB PFTL201D 100KN 3BSE008922R0100 is mounted under a mixing vessel to measure the weight of ingredients during batching. The load cell’s signal is displayed on an XVC517AE10 HMI, allowing operators to monitor the addition of flour, sugar, and other ingredients. Its stainless steel construction resists corrosion from cleaning chemicals, and its accuracy ensures that each batch meets precise recipe specifications—reducing product variability and waste. If the weight exceeds safety limits, the UNC4672AV1 safety module triggers an alarm, preventing overflow.

Installation, commissioning and maintenance instructions

Installation preparation: Mount ABB PFTL201D 100KN 3BSE008922R0100 using the flange mounting holes, ensuring the load is applied axially (tension or compression) to avoid side loads, which can affect accuracy. Use torque washers to prevent loosening under vibration. Connect the 5 m shielded cable to the signal conditioner or analog input module (e.g., DSCA114), ensuring the shield is grounded at the module end only. Provide 10-30 V DC excitation via a regulated power supply from the PPD512A10-454000. Avoid routing the signal cable near high-voltage lines to prevent interference. Calibrate the load cell using a certified test weight or force standard before commissioning.

Maintenance suggestions: Inspect ABB PFTL201D 100KN 3BSE008922R0100 quarterly for signs of physical damage, corrosion, or loose mounting hardware. Clean the load cell with a soft cloth and mild detergent—avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the stainless steel surface. Verify calibration annually using traceable standards, checking that the 4-20 mA output corresponds accurately to known loads (e.g., 12 mA at 50 kN). Check cable integrity for cuts or abrasions, replacing damaged cables with ABB-approved replacements. In applications with heavy vibration, inspect mounting bolts semi-annually and retighten to the recommended torque (25 Nm) if necessary.
