• Material‑testing equipment for low‑range force measurement and quality inspection
• Spare replacement load cell for maintenance and retrofit of legacy ABB tension control systems

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

• Q: Load cell shows zero drift or inaccurate tension reading after installation?
  A: Check mechanical mounting alignment, avoid side load or twisting force, inspect cable damage, connector looseness and amplifier calibration parameters.
• Q: Tension signal fluctuates heavily during equipment running?
  A: Verify cable shielding and grounding status, reduce external EMI interference, check roller mechanical jitter and material oscillation on production line.
• Q: Can PFTL301E 0,1kN be used under impact and heavy‑overload working conditions?
  A: Short‑term limited overload is allowed; continuous impact force will damage internal strain gauge and cause permanent measuring error.
• Q: Can this load cell work with third‑party tension controllers?
  A: Analog signal can be read by third‑party devices; full measurement performance requires matching excitation voltage and correct calibration setup.

• Q: Is 3BSE019050R100 available for brand‑new tension‑control projects?
  A: This legacy sensor has reached end‑of‑life. Only surplus and tested refurbished units are supplied for existing‑site maintenance.
