What is a Load Cell Amplifier and how Does it Work?
A load cell amplifier is a device that can increase the strength of signals coming from a load cell. Sometimes, the signals produced by the load cell can be feeble and low strength signals may not work with certain components of the measuring system like a data logger for load cells or load meter. The load cell amplifier resolves this issue by taking the signal and then amplifying it, resulting in a higher strength output signal. Load cell amplifiers can work as a standalone device or it is present in most signal-conditioning modules. We have model JY-S60, JY-S85 and other types of amplifiers for selection. The signals produced by a load cell will be mostly in
