SGA Strain Gauge Amplifier

The SGA Strain Gauge Amplifier from Celsum Technologies is a flexible, reliable and cost-effective instrument for conditioning the signals from your strain gauge based transducers (including half-bridges), producing two stable analogue outputs (current and voltage) in user-selectable formats. It can be configured to accept most strain gauged transducers, reducing the need to stock several different amplifiers.

Models are available for operation from a mains power supply (SGA/A)† or from DC (SGA/D). The SGA has an adjustable low-pass filter, and allows simultaneous voltage and current outputs. A version is available for conditioning LVDT transducer signals, too.

Key features of the SGA:

• Connect up to four 350-ohm transducers in parallel

• High Performance

• 3 Year Manufacturer's Warranty

• Sensitivity from 0.1 to 30 mV/V

• Simultaneous voltage and current output

• Outputs ±10V, ±5V, 0-10V, 0-5V, 0-20mA, 4-20mA

• Low pass filter 1Hz to 5kHz

• Offset up to ±70% of full scale

• Simple calibration

• No interaction between Gain and Zero Offset

• Simple DIL switch settings - Output Mode/Sensitivity/Filter

• Accepts half- and full-bridge transducers

• Built-in excitation

• Mains† and DC-powered versions available

• Mains-powered version can also be run from DC power supply

• Robust single-card PCB

• Surface mount components

• IP65 ABS field case with cable glands

• Available cased or as PCB only

• Full CE Approval

• Saves cost and space

• Generous quantity discounts available

• Easy to use

• Ideal for OEM, R&D, Production, QA, QC applications
