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...

Stellar Technology offers the Series LSU61X short stroke precision LVDT, ideally suited for applications where dynamic measurement is needed but space is limited. This DC/DC displacement sensor operates from unregulated power supplies of +24 Vdc to +40 Vdc or dual ±12 Vdc to ±20 Vdc. Model LSU61X utilizes an internal amplifier to generate a ±5 Vdc output signal and the internal electronics include a filter circuit. The armature covers a stroke from ±0.10 to ±0.40 inches and is loose-fit (unguided) in the bore of the LVDT. Precise alignment along the bore produces a frictionless movement and long sensor life. ±0.5% linearity is standard. Linearities of ±0.25%...
