ABB PFRL101C-2.0kN 3BSE023156R0002 tension sensor

ABB PFRL101C – 2.0kN 3BSE023156R0002 Product Description I. Basic Information
Brand: ABB
Product model: PFRL101C-2.0kN
ABB material order number: 3BSE023156R0002
Product category: Pressductor magnetic-piezoelectric (magnetoelectric effect) radial tension / force sensor (shaft-mounted force sensing unit)
Measurement principle: ABB’s unique Pressductor magnetic-piezoelectric (magnetoelectric effect) technology, without mechanical strain gauges, without easily damaged deformation structures, with extremely strong fatigue resistance, overload resistance, and vibration resistance.

Core technical specifications
Rated capacity: 2.0 kN (2000 N) radial load
Extended measurement load: Can reach up to 2.5 kN for short periods
Limit overload: High tolerance for short-time impact loads, not prone to damage
Measurement accuracy: Comprehensive accuracy ±0.2% FS, repeatability error <±0.1%
Structural form: Hollow shaft through shaft type (Pancake thin pancake type), directly fitted on the guide roller shaft end for installation, used to detect the radial force of the roll and convert it into roll tension
Protection level: IP67, dustproof and waterproof, suitable for humid and dusty industrial workshops
Operating temperature: -40℃ ~ +85℃, wide temperature range applicable to papermaking, film, and textile harsh conditions
Signal matching: The sensor body outputs the original magnetoelectric signal, must be paired with ABB tension amplifier (PFEA112 / PFEA113) for signal conditioning, outputs 4-20mA / communication signal to connect to PLC/DCS for closed-loop tension control; stainless steel shell is corrosion-resistant.

Working purposes and application industries Core function
For real-time tension detection on continuous production lines of sheet materials (Web): film, paper, non-woven fabric, printing, textile, lithium battery separator, tape coating, etc. Lines, installed at both ends of the idler rollers, the rollers generate radial force due to the tension of the sheet material, the sensor measures the force in real time, the tension controller regulates the winding and unwinding speed in a closed loop to prevent sheet material stretching deformation, breakage, and wrinkling.
Typical industries
Paper machine tension control in paper mills
Polyethylene film / blown film production lines
Printing packaging, flexible packaging equipment
Textile dyeing and printing, chemical fiber spinning
Lithium battery separator, copper foil / aluminum foil production
Tape, coating composite equipment

Model & Order Number Explanation
PFRL101C = PFRL101 Series C Version Radial Force Sensor
2.0kN = Rated Force Measurement 2 Kilonewtons
3BSE023156R0002: The only internal material code of ABB, corresponding to this range, factory calibration, hardware version, purchase / spare parts repair must use this material number.

Lifecycle and Spare Parts Status
The PFRL101 Series is a classic main model of ABB tension measurement, with a large equipment inventory, the original factory can still provide calibration, spare parts supply, after-sales support; some old batches have been discontinued, new original equipment in circulation, disassembled test pieces, return for calibration services.
If the sensor zero point drifts or output is abnormal, it can be sent to ABB metrology laboratory for re-calibration and marking; if the shell has no mechanical cracks, it can generally be repaired.
Compatible replacement of the same series: PFRL101C cannot be randomly interchanged with different kN ranges, it must be strictly selected according to the original 2.0kN.
