Many transducers use strain gage sensors to convert pressure or force to an electrical output. In these designs, gages are connected as a Wheatstone bridge resulting in an accurate and rugged transducer that can operate in extreme environments.<\/p>\n

To achieve accuracy, the bridge is adjusted for manufacturing tolerances and temperature effects. “Compensation” resistors<\/a> are added to correct for bridge unbalance, and to adjust output sensitivity. Other compensation resistors correct for the errors that result when the transducer is used over a wide changing temperature range.
\n\"sensors<\/a>
\nWire wound resistors are ideal for compensating strain gage transducers: They offer the necessary accuracy, and perform reliably at high temperatures. They are designed so that resistance value does not change, or changes in a controlled manner, over different temperature.<\/p>\n

Riedon has supplied compensation resistors<\/a> to many customers and recognizes that transducers are highly specialized products normally requiring design-specific compensation resistors.
