Rectangular load cells PFVL 141V for mounting under the lower back-up roll bearing housing There must be a sufficiently large flat surface on the lower part of the roll stand to allow the installation of the load cell under the lower back-up roll bearing. This arrangement has the advantage that there is no need to pay particular attention to the load cell during roll change. See also our offer regarding Load Cell Packages on the next page. The load cell can be adapted to the required dimensions, and the length is chosen as a multiple of 30 mm. For load cells longer than 900 mm, the chosen...

— Load cells Installation arrangements — 01 ABB offers a complete range of roll force load cells of different types and sizes. Connector cables to be preferred to fixed cables. — 02 Step-by-step assembly of our prestressed Load Cell Package Load cell packages When the load cell is positioned under the lower back-up roll bearing, which is the most exposed position, we can offer a pre-stressed package with lower pressure plate, load cell, frame and upper pressure plate. The safe and compact Load Cell Package secures easy and correct installation. You increase the possibility of accurate...
