Oct 09, 2008 Designed for multiple load cell systems, Model 4800 can be powered from 115 Vac, 230 Vac, or 11-30 Vdc. Unit has built-in excitation supply capable of delivering up to 120 mA at 10 V, enough current to drive four 350 W load cells. Input is isolated from output and both are isolated from supply voltage, eliminating unwanted ground loop problems. Full scale live load signals as low as 5 mV can be amplified to 20 mA or 10 V with overall accuracy of ±0.1%.

Sep 14, 2005 Designed with 3 in. diameter flat loading surface, Brake Pedal Load Cell measures force where direction of load changes. Set of tapped holes on underside and mounting bracket allow it to be firmly attached to pedal. Load cell gives same output, ±1%, no matter where force is applied across surface. By minimizing error due to off-axis loads, unit is suitable as part of portable system for automotive and aerospace brake testing.

Apr 28, 2005 TOP transfer transducers are used for checking calibration equipment with repeatability that exceeds ISO 376 force calibration standard requirements. Models TOP-Z30 and TOP-Z4A cover range of nominal (rated) forces from 100 N to 500 kN. Both can be used for compressive and tensile loading, and force application parts are available for either model. During calibration tests, it is important that transducers are connected to high-precision amplifier.

Mar 29, 2005 Suited for synchronous force and displacement measurements, U3 force transducer resists lateral forces and bending moments caused by weight of any connected machine parts that can lead to measurement errors. Lateral forces up to 100% of nominal rated force can be absorbed by welding supporting membrane parallel to measuring element through outer ring. Compact product, available in 8 measuring ranges from 0.5–100 kN, only records force applied in measurement direction.
