Piezoelectric Load Cell Transducers

We offer quality strain gauge and piezo electric load cells in the styles that fit.

Piezoelectric load cell transducers. This high impedance charge must be routed through a special low noise cable to an impedance converting amplifier such as a laboratory charge amplifier or source follower for recording purposes. Strain gauge load cells are the most common. Parasitics in the cable and the output section from the transducer are also included. They have 1 0 linearity in capacities from 100 to 500 n.

Specialized at its inception in piezoelectric accelerometers dynamic force sensors pressure transducers and impulse hammers. This is generally done using screws or load pins. Useful for dynamic frequent measurements of force. Founded in 1980 dytran instruments inc.

Unlike the hydraulic and pneumatic designs described below that convert pressure differentials to measurements the strain gauge load cell operates through changes in electrical resistance. As a result the charge amplifier s input range is not affected even by high initial loads. The elaf series load cell employs micro machined piezo resistive strain gages fused with high temperature glass to a high performance stainless steel force measuring flexure. Visit the dytran store.

Advanced sensors for a dynamic world. Piezoelectric load cells work on the same principle of deformation as the strain gauge load cells but a voltage output is generated by the basic piezoelectric material proportional to the deformation of load cell. A charge mode piezoelectric force sensor when stressed generates a high electrostatic charge from the crystals. Piezoelectric load cell transducer circuit.

Piezo force sensor applications. Lcm201 metric tension and compression load cells are ideal for industrial automation and robotics applications. Allow our application advisor to quickly find the right force sensor with the output you need whether you re measuring milli grams or a hundred tons. Strain gauge load cells.

Piezoelectric force transducers can either be pre stressed or not depending on the intended application. Here there is an rc filter section in the feedback loop. Load cells force transducers. When force is applied piezoelectric sensors produce an electrical charge that can be short circuited if required.

Pre stressed sensors are calibrated and can be used immediately after installation. The status of the charge amplifier input then equals the status at zero force. This technology eliminates age sensitive organic epoxies used in traditional load cell designs providing excellent long term span and zero stability.
