QuantumX MX1615 – Strain Gauge Bridge Amplifier

QuantumX MX1615 Product Description

QuantumX MX1615 Product Description

The MX1615 bridge amplifier offers unrivaled channel density and supports full integration into the modular data acquisition system. All channels support  TEDS;  they also have been designed for compatibility with ±10V voltage signals and Pt100 temperature sensor connections.

The MX1615 further distinguishes itself with its 4-, 5- and 6-wire circuit-based patented technology, employing carrier frequency methods and cyclical auto-adjustment on all channels. All these features make the amplifier particularly rugged and insensitive to electromagnetic and thermal interference from converters, high currents, electric motors or temperature effects. Furthermore, the amplifier can support applications involving distant measurement sites. Ethernet TCP/IP allows integration the MX1615 close to the measurement point to obtain the shortest possible sensor lines.

The amplifier is ideally suited for applications in experimental stress analysis.

Application areas for the MX1615 include:

• Static load tests for the verification of FEM models
• Quasi-dynamic fatigue tests for durability analyses
• Monitoring tasks when combined with the QuantumX CX22W data recorder
• Material testing and residual stress analysis
• Road Load Data Acquisition (RLDA).
