Product Overview
The ABB PFTL201C 3BSE007913R50 50KN is a highly advanced mechanical stress sensor, part of ABB’s innovative range of industrial sensors. Leveraging the unique Pressductor® technology, this sensor is designed to accurately measure mechanical stress in a variety of industrial applications. The key principle behind its operation is that the permeability of a magnetic material within the sensor changes when subjected to mechanical stress.
The PFTL201C 3BSE007913R50 50KN consists of a stack of specially treated laminates, which form the measuring body. It has primary and secondary windings wound through four holes in a way that they cross at right angles. When an alternating current is supplied to the primary winding, it creates a magnetic field around it. Under no load, the secondary winding, being perpendicular to the primary, has no magnetic field around it. However, when a mechanical force is applied in the measurement direction, the magnetic field propagation changes, inducing an alternating voltage in the secondary winding. This voltage is then converted by the control unit into a DC voltage proportional to the applied force. With a maximum measurable force of 50KN, it is well – suited for applications where precision in stress measurement is crucial, such as in heavy – duty machinery, material handling systems, and industrial presses. Its robust construction and advanced technology make it a reliable choice for harsh industrial environments, ensuring continuous and accurate monitoring of mechanical stress, which is essential for preventing equipment failures and optimizing production processes.

PFTL201C 3BSE007913R50 50KN
Main Features and Advantages
High Precision Measurement: Thanks to the Pressductor® technology, the PFTL201C 3BSE007913R50 50KN offers extremely accurate measurement of mechanical stress. The conversion of magnetic field changes into proportional electrical signals allows for precise quantification of forces, enabling operators to detect even the slightest variations in stress levels. This precision is vital for maintaining the quality and safety of industrial processes, such as in manufacturing where incorrect stress application can lead to product defects or equipment damage.
Versatile Mounting: The sensor has a flexible mounting design. It can be installed in various orientations, including horizontal and inclined setups. There is no particular correct orientation, and it can be positioned in a way that best suits the application, taking into account the location of screw holes. This adaptability makes it suitable for a wide range of machinery and industrial setups, regardless of their geometric constraints.
Robust Construction: Built to withstand harsh industrial environments, the PFTL201C 3BSE007913R50 50KN features a durable housing and high – quality internal components. It can operate within a temperature range of -20°C to +60°C, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, including those in extreme climates. This robust construction ensures long – term reliability and minimizes the need for frequent replacements, reducing maintenance costs over time.
Fast Response Time: The sensor provides a rapid response to changes in mechanical stress. As soon as a force is applied or changes, the induced voltage in the secondary winding and the subsequent conversion to a DC voltage occur almost instantaneously. This fast response is crucial for real – time monitoring and control systems, allowing for immediate action to be taken in case of abnormal stress conditions.

Application Field
The ABB PFTL201C 3BSE007913R50 50KN finds extensive use across multiple industries:
- Manufacturing: In heavy – duty manufacturing processes like metal stamping and forging, the sensor monitors the stress applied to the machinery. By accurately measuring the forces during stamping operations, it helps in optimizing the production process, ensuring consistent product quality, and preventing overloading of the equipment, which could lead to breakdowns and costly downtime.
- Material Handling: In cranes, hoists, and conveyor systems, the PFTL201C 3BSE007913R50 50KN measures the stress on load – bearing components. This is essential for ensuring the safe operation of these systems, as it can detect if a load is too heavy or if there are any imbalances in the distribution of stress, thus preventing accidents and damage to the equipment.
- Industrial Presses: Whether in the automotive industry for press – fitting components or in the packaging industry for forming containers, the sensor is used to monitor the pressure and stress exerted by the presses. Precise stress measurement ensures that the components are pressed to the correct specifications, improving product quality and reducing waste.
- Power Generation: In power plants, it can be used to monitor the stress on turbine blades or other mechanical components. By continuously measuring the stress, operators can detect early signs of wear and tear, allowing for preventive maintenance and ensuring the reliable operation of the power generation equipment.
