Product catalog summary
Overview
The Cleveland-Kidder® Ultra Line Load Cell Amplifier is designed to enhance the performance of load cells by providing a wide tension range of up to 40:1. It is particularly effective when used with Ultra Line Load Cells, offering accurate tension measurement from as low as 2.5 lbs to 100 lbs.

Key Features
  • Tension Range: Capable of measuring a wide range of tensions, from light to heavy, with a 40:1 ratio.
  • Noise Rejection: Utilizes four-wire differential technology to reject electrical noise from various sources, ensuring clean and accurate output signals.
  • Temperature Compensation: Advanced network to minimize signal deviation due to ambient temperature changes.
  • Easy Setup and Calibration: Designed for straightforward installation and calibration, with accessible adjustments and terminal strips.
  • Compatibility: Interfaces with a variety of controls for web tension monitoring and measurement.

Performance Benefits
The amplifier enhances signal resolution and stability, particularly in low-tension measurements, by eliminating drift and electrical disturbances. It provides a substantial and stable output signal, outperforming competitive amplifiers by increasing the operating tension range.

Design Features
  • Versions: Available in basic and electrically-isolated models.
  • Output Signals: Offers multiple analog outputs including 0 to +/- 10 VDC, 4-20 mA, and others for various applications.
  • Power Requirements: Operates on 24 VDC power at 160 milli-amps, with isolated models requiring slightly more.
  • Physical Specifications: Compact design with a low-profile enclosure, easy wiring, and accessible calibration adjustments.

Specifications
  • Input Channels: Two fully differential channels with switch-selectable gains.
  • Output Signals: Various options for both damped and undamped signals, with galvanic isolation in the isolated model.
  • Environmental Requirements: Operates within a temperature range of 0 to 55 degrees C, with specific humidity and altitude limits.

Ordering Information
Two main models are available: the basic Ultra Line Load Cell Amplifier (MWI-13262) and the isolated version (MWI-13261).

Cleveland-Kidder ® Ultra-1

Cleveland-Kidder ® Ultra ULTRA SLIM CELL TRANSDUCER LOAD CELL AMPLIFIER ULTRA L I N E Provides up to 40:1 Tension Range when used with one or two Ultra Line Load Cell Solutions. • Provides up to 40:1 tension range (Ex: accurately measures from 2.5 lbs to 100 lbs of tension when used with a 100 lb rated Ultra Line Load Cell). Performance Benefits Design Features Cleveland Motion Controls new Cleveland-Kidder® Ultra Line Load Cell Amplifiers operate over a wider tension range, accepting output from full bridge Ultra Line Load Cells (that provide a higher output signal for better signal resolution). They have the ability to measure lower (light) tensions, eliminating drift that can distort low-tension measurements, resulting in a substantial and stable output signal. They reject electrical noise with a four-wire differential technology, providing a common mode of rejection to electrical noise and disturbances––resulting in clean and accurate output signals devoid of distortion. Plus, with an advanced temperature compensation network that cancels out temperature influences, Ultra Line Load Cell Amplifiers produce a minimum amount of deviation of signal output, regardless of ambient temperature changes. The Ultra Line Load Cell Amplifier is designed to interface with a wide variety of controls for monitoring and measuring web tension. Two versions are available––the basic amplifier or an electrically-isolated amplifier. Analog outputs on both include 0 to +/- 10 VDC and 4-20 mA for use as a tension feedback signal or tension indicator (for use with with PCs, PLCs or other controls), 0-2 VDC with damping (for use with digital indicators) and a 0-1 mA signal with damping (for use with analog meters). It has a low power requirement, only 24 VDC power at 160 milli-amps. The analog outputs of the isolated module are galvanically isolated from the transducer load cell and power supply. This is a useful feature in systems where the tension signal is used for feedback, where ground loop or noise elimination is important. When used in conjunction with Ultra Line Load Cells, Ultra Line Load Cell Amplifiers provide better performance than competitive load cell amplifiers by increasing the operating tension range from 8:1 to 40:1. They also provide more accurate measurement by eliminating electrical disturbances caused by AC drives, servos, and other modern high frequency devices. The Ultra Line Load Cell Amplifier is low-profile, only 1.77 in. wide (45 mm), 4.14 in. deep (105 mm), and 2.95 in. high (75 mm). It weighs only 6.0 ounces (170 grams). The Ultra Line Amplifier is designed so that calibration adjustments and terminal strips are conveniently accessible from the front. Pluggable connections are removable for easy wiring. Essential specifications and a wiring schematic are located on the side, eliminating the need for a manual. www.ClevelandKidder.com • Rejects electrical noise from AC motors, servo motors, relay coils, as well as other electrical disturbances. • Operates over a wide tension range. • Specially designed to measure lower (light) tensions. • Easily maintains proper tension measurement regardless of changes in ambient temperature. • Easy to set up and calibrate. • Interfaces with a wide variety of controls for measuring and monitoring web tension.
