In the context of our products, an amplifier is an electronic device that converts the very small signals from a pressure transducer into a larger signal that can be used by machine control systems or data acquisition devices. Our range of amplifiers includes devices that work with LVDTs and (because they require a different approach) various amplifiers that work with strain gauge transducers such as load cells and pressure transducers. The amplifiers often need to be placed close to the transducer, so some of them are housed in waterproof enclosures. Some of our amplifiers have digital displays so that the transducer value can be displayed directly as a number.
