Amplifier

Amplifiers are measuring instruments that amplify output from a device such as a strain gage and perform analog output. The three major types of KYOWA amplifiers are strain amplifiers, signal conditioners, and instrumentation amplifiers. Strain amplifiers use an AC bridge power supply. They are suitable for measuring small strain when high accuracy is required. Signal conditioners use a DC bridge power supply. They are suitable for measuring large strain when high accuracy is required. The two types of signal conditioners are constant voltage systems and constant current systems. Constant current systems are suitable for measuring over an extension cable. Instrumentation amplifiers are cost-effective measuring instruments used to measure physical quantities together with a strain gage sensor (transducer). We offer a range of conditioner card type measuring instruments where cards can be inserted into a dedicated unit base to support various kinds of measurements, as well as measuring instruments that eliminate the need for wires between sensors and measurement unit.
