Under the mill screw

For installation under the mill screw, the load cell can be combined with thrust bearings and pressure plates into a package attached to the mill screw.

This arrangement results in good force distribution, simple, inexpensive installation and easy servicing.

In addition, there is no need to machine any surfaces on the roll stand. However, this arrangement does take up space in the roll window .

Under the lower back-up roll bearing

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.

Annular load cell between the mill nut and the mill stand

This version makes measurement possible even if the space under the mill screw and under the lower back-up roll bearing is insufficient.

This arrangement also has the advantage that there is no need to pay particular attention to the load cell during roll changing, and it is well protected .

Pressductor® Technology

The first Pressductor transducer was developed in Västerås, Sweden, in the early 1950’s and patented in 1954.

ABB’s well-known Pressductor® Technology is a measurement principle based on the magnetoelastic effect – the magnetic properties of a material are influenced by the mechanical force applied to it.

When exposed to mechanical force, ABB’s Pressductor transducer produces measurement signals as a result of changes in magnetic fields.

Because these signals are not contingent upon physical movement or deformation, the load cells combine sensitivity with extraordinary tolerance to overloads and virtually no built-in limit to the number of load cycles.

The ABB Pressductor transducers produces high-power, low-impedance AC signals that are very resistant to electrical interference and earth faults.

ABB’s Pressductor transducer stands for unbeatable load cell performance, thanks to its unique combination of accuracy,

overload capacity and ability to withstand harsh environments. By using this technology you will achieve higher quality and reliability, especially under demanding conditions.
