Strain gauge accelerometers with low
frequency
Celsum Technologies has introduced the FA101 Accelerometer for general application.
Celsum Technologies has introduced the FA101 Accelerometer for general application The sensors, which are available in full scale ranges from +/-2g to +/-500g, are based around a high-stability silicon strain gauge bridge, which confers excellent temperature characteristics, and are air damped rather than fluid damped, which makes them very responsive

Optical probes check moulding materials in process
Sapphire window optical process probes fit into standard transducer ports on extruders, injection moulding machines o allow on-line spectroscopic analysis of a wide range of materials.
Compact USB data logger
Compact, high speed data acquisition and logging module has 5 analogue input channels, 5 digital outputs, 1 analogue output, 1 digital input and one counter input.
Additionally, the use of strain gauges rather than piezoelectric sensors means that a wide range of readily-available strain-gauge conditioning instruments may be used rather than expensive charge amplifiers.
Celsum Technologies offer a choice of strain gauge conditioning systems, from the analogue, wide-bandwidth SGA, via the digital DSC and DCell, to the TLC1 Radio Telemetry System.
The FA101 Accelerometers are available with an unconditioned strain gauge output and, optionally, with a choice of integrated amplifier modules.
The normal operating temperature is from -20 to +80C, although this may be extended as an option to -40deg to +120C.
The FA101 has an aluminium alloy body, is easily fixed using M3 screws, and is supplied with an integral cable.
Said Celsum's MD, Roy Carter, "We are very pleased to have added the FA101 to our range of instrumentation.
It complements perfectly our strain gauge amplifier systems, load cells and pressure sensors. Request a free brochure from Celsum Technologies ...
The FA101 series has many applications, from research and development, through troubleshooting and plant condition monitoring, to integration in OEM projects.
