Consumer Product E-Bike Torque Measurement

An E-Bike manufacturer needed to test the torque on their electronic bicycles. They needed a torque sensing system that measures how much force the bike rider is pedaling onto the pedals, because this determines how much electric power the bike’s motor generates. Interface’s T12 Square Drive Torque Transducer is installed and replaced the outdated pedal sensor. The T12 is attached to the SI-USB4 4 Channel USB Interface Module. In a controlled environment, a cyclist pedals on the E-Bike and the T12 Square Drive Torque Transducer collects the measurements. The data is sent to the SI-USB4 4 Channel USB Interface Module where the torque measurements are recorded, graphed, and logged when connected to the customer’s PC or laptop.

Stress Testing

Stress testing requires high-quality, accurate measurement devices. It is a type of test done across various industries that evaluates the structure of an object or equipment, often until failure. Stress testing determines an object’s ultimate strength, thus identifying any weaknesses or flaws in its design.

Stress testing with Interface’s load cells is integral to the various products and components’ research, design, and manufacturing processes. It helps ensure that materials, equipment, and final products can withstand the stresses they will be subjected to in regular use.

Interface fatigue-rated load cells are commonly found in testing machines and stands used in stress testing. These precision load cells are engineered to withstand up to 100 million fully reversed load cells and have up to 300% overload ratings in tension and compression modes.

Types of Stress Testing Using Interface Sensors

Stress tests examine performance data and measure the tested object’s reliability, durability, and ultimate strength. Four specifications must be addressed for the stress test application before choosing a load cell: mechanical dimensions and mounting, electrical output and excitation, environmental temperature and moisture, plus performance accuracy and thermals. Choosing load cells with verifiable calibration history reinforces the reliability of the stress test results.

Popular Interface Load Cells Used in Stress Testing

The specific type of load cell used in stress testing depends on the test requirements, such as the force range, direction of loading, and desired accuracy.

Fatigue Testing

Fatigue testing is valuable for engineers to confirm their product designs and structures are safe and reliable. By understanding the fatigue behavior of materials, engineers can design components resistant to fatigue failure.

Strain gage load cells are vital for accurate fatigue testing. These devices measure the forces and stresses exerted on a test specimen during cyclic loading. The fatigue life of a specimen is the number of cycles it takes to fail. This data can be used to create stress-life or strain-life curves, which are used to predict the fatigue life of components under different loading conditions.

In a fatigue testing setup, fatigue-rated load cells and data logging instrumentation are used for testing materials, parts, or assemblies for weakness, and often ultimately to destruction. Load cells are typically attached to the specimen, or the test machine, and the cyclic loading is applied according to the test protocol.

The fatigue rating of a load cell is a distinct specification, guaranteeing it has a service life of up to 100 million fully reversed load cycles at full rated capacity. They are typically integrated into testing machines or equipment.

The load cells continuously record the applied forces or stresses, allowing engineers and researchers to monitor how the material responds to repeated loading. By analyzing the data from load cells, researchers can determine factors such as the material’s endurance limit, fatigue life, and stress-strain behavior. This information is invaluable for optimizing material selection, design, and manufacturing processes to enhance product performance and reliability while identifying fatigue and potential failure risks.

Interface has specialized in fatigue-rated load cells and their applications since our founding in 1968. The stringent discipline necessary to consistently produce actual fatigue-rated load cells is why Interface is known for this specialized load cell design and construction.

Strain Testing

Strain testing using high-precision Interface load cells and instrumentation provides valuable insights for material science. Load cells provide instrumental data for material selection, design optimization, and ensuring product safety and performance across various industries.

By measuring strain under controlled loading conditions, engineers can determine:

Yield strength: This is the point at which the material permanently deforms.
Ultimate tensile strength: This is the maximum stress a material can withstand before breaking.
Elastic limit: This is the stress level beyond which the material will not return to its original shape after unloading.
Fatigue resistance: This refers to how well the material can handle repeated loading and unloading cycles.

The use of strain testing helps to anticipate how materials behave in real-world applications. By understanding yield strength and other key metrics, engineers can design products to withstand real-world stresses and prevent potential failures.

Types of Strain Testing Applications

Strain testing verifies the ability of materials in critical applications to handle intended loads, minimizing safety risks. These vital tests also help reduce development and production costs. Strain testing helps select optimal materials and designs, minimizing waste and preventing costly product failures.

Strain testing determines the materials with the perfect strength, flexibility, and fatigue resistance balance, leading to optimized component and product designs.
