Dynamic Strain Gage Monitoring
Dynamic Strain Gage Monitoring
(OP)
I am setting up a test where I will be monitoring a group of strain gages mounted at the root of a tooth on a pinion gear (gage type EA-06-015EH-120). The signal runs through a slip ring to the DA equipment. The loading cycle is about 70 hz max and will be concurrently monitoring 5 separate gages on 5 full bridges. We are borrowing a Vishay 2210 as a front end for our LabView to do our initial testing but am looking for a more economical option for follow up tests. Noise is a worry. Any recommendations on an alternative to the Vishay 2210?

One of my former employers used Validyne MC170 signal conditioning chassis, which worked quite nice even hanging on the outside of off-road equipment. They offer lots of signal options for other uses too. We even had custom cards made up for some odd-ball uses - I think our instrument lab did it, but it was pretty easy.
