Description
The Linearizing Thermocouple Amplifier is designed to provide cold junction compensation, amplification and linearization of thermocouple sensors. These amplifiers may be used in conjunction with Michigan Scientific slip rings. Although all Michigan Scientific slip ring assemblies are manufactured with instrumentation quality rings and brushes, superior data accuracy is achieved by locating the thermocouple amplifier on the rotating side of the slip ring. This configuration greatly improves signal quality because the amplifier is located closer to the sensor, which reduces errors due to temperature gradients across dissimilar metals in the slip ring and magnetic interference.
Amplifiers are available for K thermocouples(J-type coming soon). For more channels, more than one amplifier may be used with a single control unit. The amplifiers can be adhered, potted or strapped to many different types of parts. Some Michigan Scientific slip rings are available with the amplifiers built into the rotor.
