Product Overview
The ABB PFTL201C-10KN 3BSE007913R0010 is a Pressductor PillowBlock Load Cell for measuring force at roll-bearing positions in web-handling and tension-control equipment. The pillow block configuration allows the load cell to form part of the mechanical support for a process roll, so the force generated at the roll can be measured directly within the machine structure.
The 10 kN version is suited to applications where the expected roll-support force falls within this measurement range. In a slitter-rewinder, for example, the load cell can monitor forces at the winding or guide-roll support while the controller uses the measurement as part of the tension-control loop. Similar installations can be found in paper machines, film lines, printing equipment, coating systems, and other continuous-web machinery.
The measured force is normally routed through the associated measurement electronics before reaching a PLC or tension controller. The resulting feedback can be used for tension regulation, process monitoring, load supervision, and machine alarms.
When replacing an existing unit, the complete PFTL201C-10KN 3BSE007913R0010 reference should be matched with the machine’s mechanical arrangement and measurement electronics rather than selecting a load cell only by its physical appearance.

Working Principle
The PFTL201C-10KN is installed directly within the mechanical support arrangement of a process roll. As the roll is loaded by web tension and other process forces, the resulting mechanical force passes through the pillow block and acts on the Pressductor sensing element.
The sensing element responds to mechanical stress through changes in its magnetic characteristics. The associated electronics detect this change and convert it into an electrical measurement signal corresponding to the force acting on the load cell.
In an actual production line, the useful measurement is not simply the force at the sensor itself. The complete mechanical path from the web and roll through the bearing support must be considered. If the roll assembly is misaligned or another machine component carries part of the load, the measured value may not represent the intended process force.
For a slitter-rewinder, the force signal can be sent to the tension controller together with speed and drive information. The controller can then adjust the relevant drive or braking function to maintain the required web condition.
Role in a Web Tension Control Architecture
The PFTL201C-10KN is used at the force-feedback stage of a roll and web tension control system.
Web / Process Force → Process Roll → Bearing Support → PFTL201C-10KN → Measurement Electronics → PLC / Tension Controller → Drive / Brake → Web Process
| System Element | Function |
|---|---|
| PFTL201C-10KN | Measures force transferred through the roll support |
| Process Roll | Carries the web and transfers process loading to the support structure |
| Bearing Support | Provides the mechanical force path to the load cell |
| Measurement Electronics | Processes the Pressductor measurement signal |
| PLC / Tension Controller | Uses force feedback for monitoring and control |
| Drive / Brake | Adjusts roll motion, torque, or braking as required |
| Web Process | Generates the force condition being measured |
Where a machine requires force measurements at more than one bearing position, multiple load cells can be connected to the measurement system and evaluated according to the machine’s control strategy.

Installation and Maintenance
- Confirm the complete PFTL201C-10KN 3BSE007913R0010 reference before installation or replacement.
- Verify that the machine’s roll-support structure is compatible with the PillowBlock installation.
- Check the mounting surfaces and bearing arrangement for contamination, damage, and alignment problems.
- Confirm that the intended process force is transferred through the load cell’s mechanical path.
- Check for side loading, mechanical binding, or contact with adjacent machine components.
- Verify the measurement wiring, excitation, signal connections, shielding, and grounding before commissioning.
- Keep load-cell signal cables separated from high-power motor and drive wiring where practical.
- Perform a zero-load check after installation and before normal production operation.
- Verify the measured force against the expected process condition during commissioning.
- Monitor the force signal for drift, unexpected fluctuations, or values inconsistent with actual machine operation.
- Inspect the load cell, mounting structure, cables, connectors, and roll-support components during scheduled maintenance.
- When replacing the unit, verify the complete order number, 10 kN force rating, mechanical arrangement, associated measurement electronics, and controller configuration before returning the machine to service.

Technical FAQs
What does the 10 kN designation mean on the PFTL201C-10KN?
The 10 kN designation identifies the load-cell force rating associated with this version. When selecting a replacement, the required measurement range should be checked against the actual forces present in the machine.
Can the PFTL201C-10KN be used in a slitter-rewinder?
Yes. Its PillowBlock configuration is suitable for roll-support applications found in slitting and winding equipment. The measured roll force can be used as feedback for tension monitoring or control, provided the complete measurement and control architecture is compatible.
Why should the load-cell force path be checked during commissioning?
The load cell measures the force transferred through its mechanical support. If part of the intended load is diverted through another structure, or if unwanted side forces are introduced, the measured value can differ from the actual process condition.
Is the PFTL201C-10KN interchangeable with another PFTL 201C version?
Not necessarily. Different PFTL versions can have different force ratings or other application-specific characteristics. The complete order number, force requirement, mechanical installation, measurement electronics, and controller configuration should be checked before substitution.
