How can we assist in your force measurement needs?  
Email not displaying correctly?

Interface provides dozens of instrumentation options to complete any test and measurement system. When evaluating your sensor requirements, it is valuable to also consider your instrumentation needs.  

As with force and torque components, not all instruments are comparable. Do you need a simple signal conditioner, or will you need an intelligent multi-channel data acquisition system? Interface offers all types of options, from portable load cell indicators to customizable wireless telemetry systems. For a complete overview of all instrumentation categories, click here.

Six Tips for Choosing the Right Instrumentation

#1 – Know your power supply requirements, amount of filtering that is fixed or adjustable, input range, scalability, and zero adjustment range.
#2 – The output signal is directly affected by input voltage. It’s important to maintain a stable excitation voltage.
#3 – Make sure your data acquisition systems work very well with low-level mV signals as well as high-level and remember, a DAQ system won’t always provide stable excitation voltage, so connect to a sensor that does.
#4 – Considerations for your interface module and software are determined by bit resolution, number of channels, sample rate, software features, and type of output requirements.
#5 – Filtering can help reduce noise in the output signal.
#6 – Digital signals are less susceptible to noise and more secure, and digital signals allow multi-directional transmission simultaneously.

Solutions for Assembly and Production Tools

Bolts and screws are used to secure different pieces or components together for nearly every product imaginable. When it comes to large machinery and production tools, accuracy and durability are paramount to the safety of the workers and consumers. These assembly and production tools are not like your typical “do it yourself” furniture bolts and hex keys. Automated precision is needed for certain objects to be tightened to the exact measurement, and no exceptions are permitted.

Interface provides force and torque measurement solutions for all types of industrial automation and toolset testing. These components are used in thousands of testing applications that ultimately are utilized in the building of products. In this Bolt Fastening and Torque Application example, we provided an LWCF Clamping Force Load Cell Load Washer in conjunction with a T12 Square Drive Rotary Torque Transducer to align force and torque measurements to desired levels and determine the exact bolt force and tightness. Read more here.

Above and Below Water Solutions

Interface load cells and various sensors work well in vehicles that are used in water and other submersible use cases. We offer a range of technologies that can wirelessly transmit data underwater and in harsh weather conditions, making them perfect for equipment used around and in water. From yacht rigging inspections to commercial fishing wire rope testing, Interface has been a long-time supplier of measurement and weighing devices to the maritime industry. These specialized load cells operate in underwater submersions at different capacities and reliably relay information to those at the surface level for accurate sensor readings.

Interface has various load cell designs that can regulate harsh maritime situations in use cases, such as underwater tension lines, underwater oil drilling, and storm and tsunami monitoring. Read more about offshore and nearshore solutions here.
