ABB PFBL 141B 3BSE024168R1 Load Cell

FAQ

Q1: What is ABB 3BSE024168R1?
A: It is an ABB PFBL 141B Millmate load cell with a nominal load of 25 kN, used primarily for strip tension measurement.

Q2: What is the rated load of 3BSE024168R1?
A: The specific ordering number 3BSE024168R1 is identified as the PFBL 141B-25 kN version.

Q3: What direction does the PFBL 141B measure?
A: It is designed for vertical force measurement. ABB describes the PFBL 141B as sensitive to vertical forces while being relatively insensitive to horizontal forces.

Q4: Where is the PFBL 141B commonly used?
A: Typical applications include tandem cold rolling mills and cluster mills, where reliable strip-tension feedback is required.

Q5: What are the dimensions of 3BSE024168R1?
A: The listed dimensions for this product are approximately 430 × 88 × 380 mm. However, ABB’s technical drawings show that the actual mechanical dimensions vary with the roll and shaft configuration.

Q6: How much does the PFBL 141B weigh?
A: The listed product weight is approximately 240 kg. Because PFBL 141B installations can use different mechanical configurations, the final assembled weight may vary.

Q7: Can PFBL 141B be used with different shaft arrangements?
A: Yes. ABB documentation describes versions for both fixed shaft ends and rotating shafts. The required mechanical dimensions depend on the selected configuration.

Q8: Is 3BSE024168R1 suitable for automatic tension control?
A: Yes. The load-cell signal can be used by an ABB Millmate strip-tension measurement and control system as feedback for monitoring and controlling strip tension.
