Load Cell Amplifier Calibration
The amplifier must be calibrated to work with the load cell.
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. We recommend our combinator board to make it easy to turn the four strain gauges into a wheatstone bridge type load cell. Flexible connection to most load cells pressure or strain gauges over a wide range of sensitivities. If you are planning on using load sensors 1 you will need to obtain or purchase four units.
Load cell calibration depends on the load cell that is being used. Carotron offers a variety of motor control products including tension load cells and a din rail mountable load cell amplifier model lca210 000. Therefore they will need to be calibrated regularly to ensure accurate results are maintained. 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.
Over time load cells will drift age and misalign. Single strain gauge load cells only have three wires instead of four suggested reading. In most cases the manufacturer will do it for you if you order a load cell with an amplifier. This amplifier can be used in applications where signal conditioning is needed.
