DC strain amplifier AS2503, AS2603
DC strain amplifier AS2503, AS2603
・DC Bridge Type of Wide Bandwidth
・Excellent Non-linearity and High Response Frequency!
  High Precision DC Strain Amp!
The AS2000 series is suitable for high-precision measurement with strain gauge transducers (load, pressure, torque, acceleration, etc.). The bridge power supply uses a constant voltage power supply of 2 V to 10 V DC, and it has high voltage sensitivity and excellent non-linearity, and so highly accurate measurement is possible using a wide variety of strain gauge transducers.
The high response frequency of DC to 500 kHz AS2503 also enables high-speed strain measurement such as impacts.

Isolation circuits are used between input/output and power supply.
■ Loaded with various filters (high pass/low-pass filters)
■ Can be used as a voltage amplifier.
Can be used as a high precision voltage amplifier with a maximum gain of 10,000 times - AS2503 or 5,000 times - AS2603.
Functions
■ Bridge Check function
The "Bridge Check" function automatically detects disconnections, shorts, and cable breaks at each circuit of the bridge. The easy detection of disconnected or short-circuited wires reduces measurement preparation time and helps prevent problems with the input section.

■ Cable Length Correction function
If the distance between the bridge circuit and the amplifier is long, the bridge voltage will drop due to the conductor resistance of the cable. In the past, remote sensing with a 6-core cable and compensation by numerical setting (cable length, wire diameter, etc.) were used. (Remote sensing was not possible with the AC strain amp using 6-core cable.) This series of products employs a unique automatic compensation circuit to compensate for bridge voltage drops even with 4-core cables, enabling highly accurate strain measurement.
