Portable Sensor Display (PSDS) The Portable Sensor Display allows the simple display of strain bridge-based measurements, such as load cells and pressure gauges, with sensitivity up to ± 480 mV/V. The common application for these Portable Sensor Displays as an indicator for use with most Morehouse load cells is 2 -4 mV/V output, set up to […]
In the last Back-to-Basics blog, I covered Compression and Tension Force Calibration. As I continue to cover basic concepts for beginners, this blog will cover the differences between calibration and verification. What is a Calibration? Let me start by stating that there are several definitions of calibration across multiple standards. My favorite definitions are below. […]
Ideal for Calibrating Load Cells, Testing Machines and Other Force or Torque Systems The DSC-USB load cell indicator is for a true direct-reading load cell system powered through a USB port. This system is available at a lower cost than the higher-accuracy HADI indicator. Features include: Direct reading according to ASTM E74 and ASTM E2428 […]
Compression and Tension Forces Calibration In the last Back-to-Basics blog, I covered How a Transducer Measures Force. As I continue to cover basic concepts for beginners, this blog will cover the terms Compression and Tension Forces and how they relate to force calibration. Compression and Tension Forces: What is a Compression Force Calibration? When discussing […]
Convenient PSD Hand-Held Load Cell Indicator The PSD hand-held load cell indicator weighs only 250 grams and is easy to carry. It is an ideal replacement for harder-to-use meters that require multiple input and read values. PSD hand-held load cell indicator features include: Portable digital display for use as a strain gauge indicator or load/torque […]
How a Transducer Measures Force In our first Back-to-Basics blog, I covered Force Calibration and its Importance. As I continue to cover basic concepts for beginners, this blog will define a transducer and describe how one is used to measure compression and tension force. What is a Transducer? In the broad sense of the term, […]
Morehouse Load Cell Amplifier This Load Cell Amplifier (LAC) is the best-performing we have ever tested, so we decided to sell it. The LAC is a universal analog amplifier designed for static/semi-dynamic force measurement applications in industrial environments. These units work exceptionally well when paired with Morehouse load cells. The LAC's high accuracy and stability […]
2021 Back-to-Basics Series: Force Calibration and its Importance For the start of the new year and our 101st year in business, we thought about the tremendous amount of knowledge Morehouse Instrument Company has shared throughout the years with blogs, technical papers, and webinars. This education aligns with our purpose, to create a safer world by […]
How to Use a Load Cell Alignment Adapter for Compression Calibration Setups Centering a load cell is critical to obtaining the correct line of force and reducing calibration errors. An alignment plug along with an adapter plate can be used to center a load cell, whether it is a reference standard in a calibrating machine […]
