ABB TP853 3BSE018126R1 Module base
ABB’s Pressductor® Radial load cells (PRT load cells)are sensitive and accurate yet rugged, reliable
and compact. They can withstand high overloads
and vibrations, and operate over a wide range of
tensions: ideal for any web converting application
such as coating, laminating, printing, slitting,
winding/unwinding and many others.
The well-proven Pressductor load cells combined
with the tension electronics, offer an easy-to-use/
user-friendly web tension measurement system
with superior long term performance leading
to higher productivity and product quality and
higher profit for the web producer.
Increased process uptime
In a web process running continuously, every
minute of production time is precious. Even so,
no production line runs without downtime.
With Pressductor Radial load cells the risk of web
breaks can be reduced to a minimum, thus leaving
as much time as possible for real production.
Thanks to a strong and stable signal deriving
from the PRT load cells, the upcoming web breaks
are kept to an absolute minimum level.
Tighter product tolerances
The ability to produce web to tighter tolerances
minimizes the costs associated with nonconforming web. It also increases the web
producer’s accessible market to include products
with tighter tolerance requirements.

Minimize maintenance
Share the experience, of virtually maintenance-free
load cells, with thousands of other Pressductor
load cell users. A robust load cell design with no
fragile or ageing components makes this possible.
Thanks to its robust and compact design, the PRT
load cells work consistently for many years
without any need for maintenance.
Fast access to support and service
ABB provides customers with superior distinctive
after sales service that really differentiates from
the competition. You obtain advanced solutions
to problems, service and professional consultation
through our After Sales Service program. Expert
engineers with extensive experience of all types
of Force Measurement products are available
to assist you through our world-wide network.
There is a shaft-mounted PRT tension
measurement load cell suitable for most web
processing machinery used in the converting,
printing, plastic film, textiles, and other
industries.
In the converting industry, the PRT load cells
are ideal on machinery for coating, laminating,
embossing, and many other processes.
PRT load cells are used on a wide range of printing
presses – in both converting and commercial
printing as well as newspaper and magazine
production.
In the plastics industry, PRT load cells are used
to optimize the production and processing
of blown and cast film.
