Load Cell Amplifier Calibration

Load cell amplifier our intelligent strain gauge bridge amplifier is a compact stackable microprocessor based unit specifically designed to control and monitor process applications.

Load cell amplifier calibration.

Carotron s model lca210 000 load cell amplifier. Over time load cells will drift age and misalign. Load cells are an integral part of most weighing systems in industrial aerospace and automotive industries enduring rigorous daily use. An engineer can help you with the calibration or the manufacturer may do this for you if you order both the load cell and amplifier from the same company.

A load cell amplifier helps to condition the signal from the load cell and makes it legible for other devices. In most cases the manufacturer will do it for you if you order a load cell with an amplifier. Load cell calibration depends on the load cell that is being used. Single strain gauge load cells only have three wires instead of four suggested reading.

The amplifier must be calibrated to work with the load cell. If you are planning on using load sensors 1 you will need to obtain or purchase four units. Carotron offers a variety of motor control products including tension load cells and a din rail mountable load cell amplifier model lca210 000. Flexible connection to most load cells pressure or strain gauges over a wide range of sensitivities.

We recommend our combinator board to make it easy to turn the four strain gauges into a wheatstone bridge type load cell.
