Bi-axial Dynacell Load Cells
2527 Series
-
During tests carried out on servohydraulic machines, elements of the system are subject to acceleration. As a result, in addition to the force applied to the specimen, the load cell also reads forces resulting from its own movement and the mass of the grips and fixtures attached to it. Dynacell is the world's first truly dynamic load cell, designed from the outset for measuring dynamic loads. Dynacell introduces the following advantages:*Reduces dynamic load errors which can be a significant percentage of reading *Increases productivity by allowing higher frequency operation while maintaining test validity *Improvements such as doubling the frequency are common

Load Cell Amplifiers
-
When a digital display is not required, a Load Cell Central signal conditioner is just the thing for your system. Our load cell amplifiers work great in applications where the weighing system is controlled by a computer or PLC. Once supplied with the appropriate power, these devices provide a regulated excitation voltage to the load cells, and convert a small mV signal into more common signals like 0-10VDC, +/-10VDC, 4-20mA, RS232, RS485, and USB. Our wide range of load cell signal conditioners / load cell amplifiers offer a variety of accuracy and frequency response levels.

Load Cells
-
A load cell is a sensor which transforms the load or force applied to it into an electrical signal. Load cell sensors are based on the strain-gauge principle i.e. a sensor whose resistance varies with applied force. They are the most widely used as load transducers in all areas of weight measurement from retail scales, the process industry and medical applications.
