Product Introduction
The ABB PFVL141C-60MN 3BSX670292D0064 Roll Force Load Cell is a high-precision industrial transducer engineered to measure rolling force in steel and aluminum mills with exceptional accuracy and reliability. It belongs to ABB’s advanced PFVL series of roll force sensors, which are designed for demanding applications in hot and cold rolling processes.
This load cell is responsible for converting the massive mechanical compression forces applied between work rolls into an electrical signal proportional to the applied load. The PFVL141C-60MN plays a vital role in closed-loop automatic gauge control (AGC) systems, ensuring uniform sheet thickness, improved rolling quality, and stable mill operation.
Built with stainless-steel housing and hermetic sealing, the PFVL141C-60MN can withstand harsh mill environments such as high temperatures, vibration, hydraulic pressure, and moisture. It provides a linear, repeatable signal output under dynamic loading, ensuring process precision and long-term stability in critical control systems.
