Request a model-specific bearing load cell replacement assessment. Check bore, center height, force direction, electrical interface and installed calibration.
ORIGINAL NAMEPLATE → ENGINEERING REVIEW
Find the installed model before choosing an alternative.
Search ABB, FMS, DFE or Montalvo. Preserve the exact suffix and nominal load; one family name can describe several installations.
19 original references found. Results identify documents to review; they do not certify a BearingLoadCell drop-in match.

Pressductor magnetoelastic sensor; requires an electronics/system review before using a strain-gauge alternative.
Supply original outline drawing and plate stack. Body length, fastening pitch and center height are separate dimensions.
Define what changes between the original sensor and the PLC.
System conversion is reviewed independently from mechanical interchangeability.

What the original interface means
What the alternative review must resolve
ABB Pressductor
Magnetoelastic sensor with dedicated tension electronics.
New sensor pair, conditioning electronics, cable, signal scaling and commissioning. Do not wire a strain-gauge bridge into a presumed interchangeable Pressductor input.
FMS foil bridge
Review the exact mV/V sensitivity, bridge impedance, excitation and original suffix.
Input compatibility, polarity, tare, paired gain and the installed web-path calibration.
DFE / Montalvo semiconductor configurations
Output and bridge arrangement can differ from a conventional low-output full bridge.
Verify the actual excitation limit, individual/pair bridge configuration and conditioner input range.
Request a quote with separate lines for the sensor pair, amplifier/controller, cable kit and calibration. Retaining the existing electronics is a review outcome, not an assumption.
For other FMS PMGZ/RMGZ/CMGZ variants, Magpowr or HBM equipment, retain the exact model and submit the original drawing and electronics details for an individual review.
ORIGINAL DRAWING → REVIEWABLE PROPOSAL
Ask for a dimensioned comparison before approving a replacement.
Original nameplate, capacity and full suffix, plus the installed drawing revision.
Separate body envelope, upper/lower hole patterns or flange pilot/PCD, and roller center-height datum.
Original electronics, connector pinout, excitation, PLC input and shield arrangement.
Minimum/maximum web tension, wrap geometry, roller tare and stopping conditions.
Proposed BearingLoadCell drawing, bearing designation, calibration scope and acceptance criteria.
What the proposed release must establish
Mechanical interface approved. Electrical chain identified. Individual channels calibrated. Tare and wrap gain checked in the installed machine. Delivery and commercial terms agreed in the quotation.
No model family name, original certificate or similar-looking image establishes all five items.
