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 VLU850 is temperature compensated from 70°to 170°F, and the temperature effect on zero and span is minimal at 0.01%/°F, insuring reliable...

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...

The Stellar Technology Series AP50XX in-line signal conditioner offers many options for those customers requiring high level output where application temperatures or physical size constraints do not allow having signal conditioning at the point of measurement. The AP50XX can be placed in-line anywhere between the transducer and the data acquisition system. The AP50XX is available in two diameter configurations, making it easy to be incorporated into a variety of applications. The Series AP50XX is all-welded and constructed of stainless-steel, and is available with a variety of analog and digital outputs. Standard analog outputs are 4-20 mAcurrent loop, 0-5 Vdc, 0-10 Vdc, and 1-5 Vdc. Isolated...
