New Instrumentation Grade Load Cell Offers Superior Performance at OEM Pricing
 |
|
The Microfused™ ELPF load cells offer superior resolution and long-term durability at a much lower price than traditional load cells. |
Measurement Specialties’ introduces a breakthrough instrumentation grade load cell offering enhanced long-term performance, superior resolution, speed of response and essentially unlimited cycle life expectancy. The miniature ELPF load cell measures both tension and/or compression offering low long term drift and high output. Priced at least 25%
below competitive products, the ELPF is designed for high volume, low cost OEM use as well test and instrumentation applications.
Ease of installation, superior performance, small size and long-term durability – all at very low pricing – makes the ELPF the sensor of choice for physical therapy, medical scanning/weighing systems as well as for automated assembly and robotic systems.

The ELPF is ideal
for OEM load applications such as exercise machines, physical therapy
equipment and medical devices. |
Microfused™ technology has made the ELPF possible, setting a new standard in price and performance. Whereas most load cells are fabricated using labor intensive, epoxy-bonded metal foil strain gages, the ELPF is made by fusing the strain gages at high temperature with inorganic glass to the load-measuring member within the ELPF. The Microfused™ glass bonding process eliminates the instabilities associated with epoxy bonding. Long term drift, zero and span combined total only 1% over the first 12 months and another 1% for the life of the sensor.

Accelerometer Models 4610 and 4630 Offer Temperature Compensation and Signal Conditioned Output in Hermetically Sealed Package
 |
|
The Model 4630
offers triaxial vibration monitoring in a compact, hermetically sealed
package. |
Measurement Specialties’ new Model 4610 accelerometer with on-board signal conditioning is designed for very low frequency measurements in instrumentation, test, aerospace and automotive applications. Offering integral temperature compensation with a hermetically sealed sensor assembly, this accelerometer is available in ranges from ±2 to ±500g with a bandwidth from DC to 1500Hz
The Model 4630 offers the same high performance sensing technology in a triaxial package with independent circuits and low transverse sensitivity.
Applications for the 4610 and 4630 accelerometers include low frequency uses such as flight testing, vibration/shock monitoring, motion analysis, transportation (such as trains), road vehicle testing, machine control and modal analysis.
