Load Cell Amplifier Calibration

Carotron s model lca210 000 load cell amplifier.

Load cell amplifier calibration.

If you are planning on using load sensors 1 you will need to obtain or purchase four units. The amplifier must be calibrated to work with the load cell. Load cells are an integral part of most weighing systems in industrial aerospace and automotive industries enduring rigorous daily use. Over time load cells will drift age and misalign.

In most cases the manufacturer will do it for you if you order a load cell with an amplifier. Flexible connection to most load cells pressure or strain gauges over a wide range of sensitivities. This amplifier can be used in applications where signal conditioning is needed. A load cell amplifier helps to condition the signal from the load cell and makes it legible for other devices.

Single strain gauge load cells only have three wires instead of four suggested reading. We recommend our combinator board to make it easy to turn the four strain gauges into a wheatstone bridge type load cell. 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.

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