I. Functional Features
High-Precision Measurement: Employs Pressductor® piezomagnetic/magnetoelastic technology, with a measuring range of 20.0kN (approximately 2040 kgf), accuracy up to ±0.03%FS (full scale), repeatability error ≤0.03%FS, and resolution up to 0.1N, meeting ultra-high precision measurement requirements. **Fast Response:** Response time <125μs, supporting real-time tension monitoring on high-speed production lines (e.g., winding equipment with line speeds exceeding 1500m/min).
**Strong Environmental Adaptability:** Built-in dual temperature sensors automatically compensate for environmental influences, ensuring output fluctuations ≤±0.01%FS/℃ over a wide temperature range (-40℃ to +85℃). IP67 protection rating (dustproof, short-term water immersion), employing a 316L stainless steel column structure with laser-welded sealed terminals, suitable for highly corrosive environments such as pickling lines and electroplating workshops.
**High Overload Capacity:** Lateral overload capacity up to 5 times the rated load (100kN), impact resistance up to 150g, enabling stable operation under extreme conditions.
**Multiple Output Options:** Supports 4-20mA/0-10V analog and digital communication (Profibus DP, EtherCAT, Modbus TCP), compatible with ABB 800xA PLC/DCS systems and industrial IoT platforms.
II. Application Scenarios
Metal Processing: Used for tension control in extra-thick plate rolling and pickling/annealing lines (e.g., shipbuilding steel plates, bridge steel) to prevent strip deviation or breakage.
Paper and Film: Used for tension control in high-speed paper machine rewinders (width over 6 meters) to ensure paper is tight and undamaged; in BOPP film production lines, used for tension monitoring of ultra-large roll diameters to ensure thickness uniformity control (±1μm).
Chemical and Energy: Suitable for harsh environments such as pickling lines (pH≤2 sulfuric acid mist), salt spray corrosion environments on marine platforms, and metal strip transport near high-temperature smelting furnaces.
Emerging Fields: Used for high-precision applications such as ±0.3μm tension fluctuation control in diamond wire cutting for photovoltaic silicon wafers, carbon fiber prepreg slitting, and tension control of 3D printing materials.
IV. Product Advantages
Non-contact Measurement: Avoids mechanical wear and extends service life.
Long-term Stability: Annual drift rate ≤±0.1%FS, ensuring long-term accuracy.
Millisecond-level Response: Quickly corrects fluctuations and maintains tension stability.
High compatibility: Supports edge computing and remote diagnostics, and is compatible with Industry 4.0 architecture.
