The Horizontal Mini Series PillowBlock load cells for the web processing industries have the same dimensions as conventional load cells and mount in the same way. But they measure only the horizontal force component of the web tension.

ABB’s Pressductor® 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 converter.
