Key Features and Advantages:
Ultra-compact design: The PFRL101C-2.0kN delivers 0.01N resolution in a 35mm diameter form factor, enabling direct integration into robotic end-effector tooling. Its symmetrical radial design eliminates directional sensitivity errors common in cantilever-type sensors.
Environmental resilience: Hermetically sealed laser-welded construction prevents lubricant ingress in food processing machinery. The sensor’s nickel-plated sensing element resists chemical corrosion in pharmaceutical tablet compression systems.
Smart diagnostics: Built-in self-monitoring function detects cable breaks and signal anomalies, triggering immediate PLC alarms in battery module assembly presses. Optional IO-Link interface enables real-time parameter configuration without disassembly.
Application Areas:
The 3BSE002964R002 excels in:
- Automotive: EV battery stack compression monitoring
- Electronics: Connector insertion force verification
- Packaging: Blister pack sealing pressure control
- Aerospace: Composite material layup force profiling
In robotic screwdriving stations, its 20kHz sampling rate captures peak torque transients during critical fastener installation. The sensor’s 0.02% repeatability ensures consistent crimping force in medical device wire harness production lines.
