Cleveland-Kidder® Ultra Line Load Cell
Amplifiers operate over a wider tension
range, accepting output from full bridge
Ultra Line Load Cells (that provide a
higher output signal for better signal resolution). They have the ability to measure
lower (light) tensions, eliminating drift that
can distort low-tension measurements,
resulting in a substantial and stable output
signal. They reject electrical noise with a
four-wire differential technology, providing
a common mode of rejection to electrical
noise and disturbances––resulting in clean
and accurate output signals devoid of
distortion. Plus, with an advanced
temperature compensation network that
cancels out temperature influences, Ultra
Line Load Cell Amplifiers produce a
minimum amount of deviation of signal
output, regardless of ambient temperature
changes.
The Ultra Line Load Cell Amplifier is
designed to interface with a wide variety of
controls for monitoring and measuring web
tension. Two versions are available––the
basic amplifier or an electrically-isolated
amplifier. Analog outputs on both include 0
to +/- 10 VDC and 4-20 mA for use as a
tension feedback signal or tension indicator
(for use with with PCs, PLCs or other controls), 0-2 VDC with damping (for use with
digital indicators) and a 0-1 mA signal with
damping (for use with analog meters).
It has a low power requirement, only 24
VDC power at 160 milli-amps. The analog
outputs of the isolated module are
galvanically isolated from the transducer
load cell and power supply. This is a useful
feature in systems where the tension signal
is used for feedback, where ground loop or
noise elimination is important.
When used in conjunction with Ultra Line
Load Cells, Ultra Line Load Cell Amplifiers
provide better performance than
competitive load cell amplifiers by
increasing the operating tension range
from 8:1 to 40:1. They also provide
more accurate measurement by
eliminating electrical disturbances
caused by AC drives, servos, and other
modern high frequency devices.
The Ultra Line Load Cell Amplifier is
low-profile, only 1.77 in. wide (45 mm),
4.14 in. deep (105 mm), and 2.95 in. high
(75 mm). It weighs only 6.0 ounces (170
grams). The Ultra Line Amplifier is
designed so that calibration adjustments
and terminal strips are conveniently
accessible from the front. Pluggable
connections are removable for easy wiring.
Essential specifications and a wiring
schematic are located on the side,
eliminating the need for a manual.
