Stellar Technology introduces the subminiature series VLC856  compression load cells. Small in size - with diameters from 0.38” and heights of only 0.13” - these load cells deliver exceptional 0.50% accuracy for ranges from 10 to 1,000 lbf.  Micro-Welded stainless steel construction provides for a much more repeatable, reliable, and rugged product. Standard output for the Model VLC856 is 2 mV/V and electrical termination consists of a 4-conductor Teflon cable with braided stainless-steel shielding and an integral temperature and zero balance board. The VLC856 is temperature compensated from 70°to 170°F, and the temperature effect on zero and span is minimal at 0.01%/°F, insuring reliable performance. These...

Stellar Technology introduces the subminiature series VLU850  tension/compression load cells. In addition to their small size - with diameters from 0.50” and heights from 0.31” - these load cells deliver exceptional 0.50% accuracy for ranges from 10 to 1,000 lbf.  Micro-Welded stainless steel construction provides for a repeatable, reliable, and rugged product. Standard output for the Model VLU850 is 2 mV/V and electrical termination consists of a 4-conductor Teflon cable with braided stainless-steel shielding and an integral temperature and zero balance board.

The new Model AP5101 is a DIN-rail mounted single channel Amplifier which provides variable excitation and signal conditioning for standard DC-excited strain guage transducers, including those for pressure, force, torque, and load. The AP5101 provides up to 10V output or 4-20 output with transducer signals from 10mV to 10V, and incorporates a DC-DC converter to insure that the output is electrically isolated from the supply. The unit accepts both uni-polar and bi-polar input signals and can produce corresponding uni-polar or bi-polar voltage outputs. The AP5101 is compatible with standard DIN-Rail mounting systems and is constructed of high-impact thermoplastic. The design permits convenient access to screw-clamp...

The new Series AP5104 is a convenient DIN-rail Amplifier for use with 4-, 5-, or 6-wire LVDTs (linear variable differential transformer). The AP5104 provides regulated AC excitation with remote-sensing capability for cable runs exceeding 20 feet. The AP5104 produces filtered analog outputs of ±0-5Vdc, ±0-10 Vdc, 4-20 mA, 4-12-20 mA which are field-selectable via the front panel. These outputs are filtered using a low-pass active filter that removes unwanted high-frequency measurement-signal components and thus eliminating aliasing errors. Signal inputs from 16 to 1600 mV/V are accepted. The DIN mount housing is constructed of high-impact thermoplastic and permits easy access to screw terminal connections for...
