What is a load cell measurement amplifier?

Create a measuring amplifier ensures that a signal from a load cell is converted into an analog or digital signal. A load cell is a transducer that converts force or mass into a measurable electrical output, usually indicated as millivolts per volt (mV/V).

Wheatstone

In 1843, the English physicist Sir Charles Wheatstone a bridge circuit that could measure electrical resistance. The Wheatstone bridge circuit is ideal for measuring the resistance changes that occur in strain gauges.

The Wheatstone bridge is supplied with stabilized voltage. So a 2 mV/V loadcell gives 20 millivolt signal at full load when supplied with 10v.

Measuring amplifier

De measuring amplifier is suitable for the connection of load cells, weighing cells, force sensors, torque sensors, acceleration sensors and displacement sensors and for all active sensors with voltage output or current output. In addition to amplifiers with analog output, we also have measuring amplifiers and data loggers with interfaces and with radio transmission.

Dexman

We at Dexman know better than anyone that the right information is the most important thing. Because if a measurement is not correct, the solution is of no use to you. This applies not only to the solutions we offer, but also to the way in which we communicate. At Dexman, we stand for quality, service and solution orientation. In this, it is important to provide the right information, offer a good solution and be honest with each other.

Dexman is a supplier with a wide range of load cells, weighing platforms, pallet scales, crane scales, force sensors, torque meters, measuring amplifiers, pressure sensors en displacement sensors. You can contact us for standard versions, but also for custom-made components and complete weighing solutions. The choice of the right components usually starts with extensive advice.

We are active in the following sectors: offshore, aerospace, logistics, agriculture, food and pharma. Thank you for your interest in Dexman products and services. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you..
