Radio telemetry for strain gauge systems
Celsum Technologies offers a range of state-of-the-art, licence-free radio telemetry instruments to allow remote strain-gauge based sensors to be monitored without the need for expensive cabling
The load cells are available in stainless steel bodies only 32mm (1.25'') in diameter with full scale ranges from 200 Newtons to 50 kiloNewtons (50 to 10,000 lbf) and with a choice of male-male, male-female and female-female threaded mechanical connectors, that will handle tensile or compressive forces, are sealed to IP65, have shunt calibration, and an operating temperature range of -20 to +80C.
The integral digital conditioning amplifier is fully programmable and can read at speeds up to 500 Hz and at resolutions to 1 part in 400,000.
The RS485 interface is programmable to operate at speeds between 2,400 and 230,400 baud, and is available in several protocols including ASCII and Modbus, said Celsum Technologies Managing Director, Roy Carter.
"The MDLC digital miniature load cells were developed for a key aerospace application in order to reduce the need for separate conditioning electronics, saving space, weight and cost. Request a free brochure from Celsum Technologies ...
They have many applications in research, development and industry, and we are always very happy to look at requests for non-standard specifications to tailor the instruments to specific tasks.".
