SERIES R COMPENSATION RESISTORS For high precision transducers, in addition to selecting high'precision gages, compensation‘and adjustments are also indispensable. Series R compensation resistor is a kind of bonded and adjustable resistor, which is designed for improving the performances of transducers with the characteristics of easy bonding and adjustment, The resistor has the same temperature as the spring element and bas high compensation accuracy.COMPENSATION RESISTOR CODING SYSTEM: NOMINAL RESISTANCE(Q) ADJUSTING METHOD BACKING TYPE COMPENSATION TYPE FOIL TYPE PRODUCT SERIAL NO.

Thus the tested. strain will increase along with it. Ifthe g: can reduce properly as the temperature, according to S=KE, the output ofthe gage will hot change with the temperature. Therefore EMC (Elasticity Modulus Compensation) may be realized in this way, ‘These kinds of strain gages are thus called modulus compensating strain gages 1c and EMC resistor combined. It provides The EMC gage functions like an ordinary automatic error correction of transducers caused by the alteration of the elasticity modulus of a material with temperature change. If EMC gages are well matched to the spring materials, temperature drift of transducers’ sensitivity will be less than 0.002%) C. Compared to commonly used methods, EMC gages have the advantages of good ‘ability, higher sensitivity, easy usage. low cost and! so on. re for using EMC gage: {es must be matched to the transducer spring material Generally it is desirable to have data on at least $ transducers of the same type (QIEMC gages cannot complete the thermal output self-compensation Their thermal output is larger than that of temperature self-compensating gages. Therefore, during the design of transducers, it is recommended for those transducers with smaller internal temperature variation, Use half-bridge or full-bridge EMC gages to minimize zero rit (3)Soldern; Bages.
