ABB 3BSX670292-112 MN Millmate Load Cell

The ABB 3BSX670292-112 is a high-capacity Millmate Load Cell designed for heavy-duty industrial applications, particularly in steel plants and rolling mills.
It is based on ABB’s proprietary Pressductor® technology, which measures force using the magneto-elastic effect rather than traditional strain gauges. This design provides exceptional durability, reliability, and long-term stability in harsh industrial environments.

Core Specifications

• Technology:
  Pressductor® magneto-elastic principle
  (No moving parts, extremely high durability)

• Nominal Load Range:
  Available in various capacities
  This specific part number is typically used in high-tonnage applications, up to 20 MN (≈ 2,000 tons) or higher, depending on the sensor diameter

• Accuracy:
  ±0.5% of nominal force (Fₙₒₘ)

• Overload Capacity:
  Exceptionally high, typically up to 700% of nominal load without mechanical failure

• Protection Class:

• Internal sensor: typically IP20

• Installed in heavy-duty stainless steel housing suitable for mill environments

• Operating Temperature Range:
  −10 °C to +90 °C

Key Features

Rugged Design

• Unlike conventional strain-gauge load cells, the Pressductor® sensor is virtually unaffected by moisture, dirt, dust, or contamination

• Maintains accurate measurement even when insulation resistance drops to as low as 10 kΩ

Long-Term Stability

• Calibration-free operation

• No signal drift over time

• Ideal for environments with high vibration and mechanical shock, such as rolling mills

Interchangeability

• Output signal is factory calibrated

• Load cells of the same type and size can be replaced without recalibrating the overall control system
