Application hint Vertically measuring load cells are ideal for applications with high speed gradients during acceleration and deceleration in cold rolling. These units are designed for strip tension measurement in applications where it is essential or advantageous to determine the vertical force component.

Machined from a single block of stainless steel, they have exceptionally high tolerance for overloads, shock and impact, in addition to high immunity to dust and corrosion. The standard construction is of highly resistant stainless steel with potted internal components.

Mill-duty versions are available for exceptionally hostile environments in e.g. cold rolling mills, galvanizing lines and pickling lines. The family of vertical load cells comprises units in four operating ranges offering measurement capacities from 5 kN (1,125 lbs.) to more than 50 kN (11,250 lbs.), covering applications with tensions levels in excess of 1,000 kN (225,000 lbs.). ABB’s vertical load cells, like their counterparts for horizontal measurement, feature an extended operating load range.

Up to 50 percent more measurement capacity is available in this range with fully retained performance characteristics, except some decline in measurement accuracy. As a result, in most applications, the load cells can safely be specified for the strip’s normal tension range, but still will accommodate substantial peak loads. In fact, both types of ABB PillowBlock load cells feature an exceptionally wide measurement range.

Installation in existing equipment can be simplified by use of t op and bottom adapter plates, which can be supplied by ABB.
