Stellar Technology’s Model PNC740 is a fatigue rated load cell which delivers up to 0.03% (BFSL) accuracy over a 100 million cycle lifetime. Versatile enough to handle ranges from 250 lb to 100,000 lb and survive in temperatures from -65°to 250°F, the PNC740 is the ideal solution for aerospace testing, automotive test stands, industrial control, land-based and offshore oil & gas production, or any heavy duty application that calls for a reliable, straightforword load cell. Each Model PNC740 is barometrically compensated to minimize zero shift due to atmospheric conditions and has a standard output of 2mV/V. The compensated temperature range is from 15°F to 115°F. All electronics...

The new Series AP5201 In-Line Amplifier from Stellar Technology is a low cost, easy-to-use, general purpose signal conditioner. This single- channel unit is ideal for DC-excited strain gauge pressure transducers, load cells, and torque transducers. AP5201 features an advanced analog design which solves the problem of measurement inaccuracy caused by high electromechanical noise. The AP5201 provides filtered analog output of ±5Vdc, ±10Vdc, or 4-20 mA, which is field-selectable by the user. Zero and span adjustments are made through coarse rotary switches and potentiometers. This in-line amplifier will accommodate a wide range of full-bridge DC strain gage sensors with bridge resistance for 120 to 10K Ohm. The AP5201 signal...

The new Series LLS60X from Stellar Technology is a high performance long stroke LVDT displacement transducer with a spring return armature. The armature is restrained and guided by an ultra-low friction bearing assembly and the internal spring automatically positions the armature to its full extension. This design is used where it is not possible to connect the transducer armature to the moving part being measured. The compact size of the LLS60X series makes it ideal for limited-space applications requiring a stroke range from ±0.5” to ±3.0”. These displacement transducers are ruggedly constructed of stainless steel and able to withstand harsh environments where high ambient temperature or vibration...

The Model LPS60X AC/AC LVDTis designed for precision displacement and position measurement for quality assurance applications in industrial environments. These high accuracy displacement sensors are constructed of stainless steel and utilize a ball probe to smoothly interface with the target. The spring guided armature is supported with precision linear ball bearings to ensure excellent repeatability, high life cycle, and stable overall performance. The compact LPS60X LVDT’s Series measures displacement from ±0.02 inches to ±0.2 inches, with 0.25% linearity, and infinite resolution. Operating temperature is from -40° to 212°F. The unit features a 6’ integral Polyurethane insulated cable which is resistant to oils and chemicals. All Series LPS60X displacement...
