SGS-350 Series – Strain Gauge Simulator

Product Description

The Magtrol SGS-350 is a strain gauge bridge simulator made entirely with passive components and an aluminum housing designed for use in extremely harsh environments.

The SGS-350 can be used in place of a strain gauge sensor with 0 … 2 mV/V sensitivity, in order to test or calibrate an LMU 210 Series Load Monitoring Unit (or other model), including threshold overload testing.

The SGS-350 can be supplied with 5 … 10 V DC power supply.

Features

  • Power Supply: 5 … 10 V DC
  • Sensitivity: 0 … 2 mV/V
  • Linearity: 0.5 %
  • Impedance: 350 Ohms
  • 10-turn Potentiometer (with counter)
  • Aluminum Housing
  • Single and dual channel versions available

Applications

Combined with an LMU 210 Series – Load Monitoring Unit, the strain gauge simulator allows operational tests and settings to be preformed prior to use on site.

Its aluminum housing provides the SGS-350 with reinforced protection and allows it to be used in particularly harsh environments.

The dual-channel version simulates sensor settings with redundant strain gauge bridges.

Specifically developed for use with Magtrol load measuring pins and load-force weight sensors, the LMU Series provides excitation current and amplifies the output signal of full-bridge strain gauges.

Load Monitoring Units are flexible and fully configurable due to DIP-switches and jumpers which allow the unit to be easily installed - no solder connections are required. The level detectors and the outputs can be dedicated either to the full-bridge input, to the voltage input, or to the sum of both. A built-in auto-diagnostic system detects any short circuits or signal line failures, thus allowing the system to be used in applications where safety is important. If a problem is detected, both relays are deactivated and the output voltage (respective current) changes to > 10 V DC and > 20 mA.

The LMU is fully compatible with European Community (CE) standards. Its IP 65 aluminum housing allows the system to be used in harsh environments. Using SMD (surface mounted device) technology, the LMU allows the maximum performance/ price ratio for strain gauge transducer monitoring.

The force transducers of the ZP-S Series are designed for the measurement of static and dynamic forces and are characterized by their low dimensions at a high measuring accuracy. The force is introduced centrally through a tapped hole. A strain gauge bridge converts the elastic deformation of the S-shaped flexible body into an electrical signal that can be evaluated. Compensation and adjustment elements are used to set the required technical data. The transducers up to the construction size 50 N are manufactured in high-strength aluminum alloy, while larger sizes are made of a special stainless steel. An integrated overload fuse ensures the safe operation of the 10N, 20N and 50N construction sizes. As a standard, the transducers are equipped with a 3 m connection cable, which has free ends on the other side. The transducer can also be supplied with an integrated amplifier (model ZP-E/10 N to 2 kN, dimensions have changed). The output signals (0 to 10) V or (4 to 20) mA can be selected.
