Connectors 101

April 8, 2025

Interface connectors are the critical link that physically and electrically connects a sensor's cable end to a corresponding receptacle on the instrumentation device. When selecting a cable for your test and measurement application, always consider the connector type at both ends to ensure compatibility and optimal performance. Use Interface guides to make the right connection between your load cell and data acquisition system.

Load Cell Wiring 101

March 11, 2025

Load cell performance depends significantly on the electrical system. Wire colors and pin assignments are essential when assembling your load cell using connectors, cables, and instrumentation. Interface provides a complete electrical wiring resource for sensor models, wire colors, pins and specifications. Wiring mishaps are a source of electrical connection errors, leading to inaccurate readings, equipment damage, or even safety hazards.

Analog-to-Digital Converters 101

February 11, 2025

Interface analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are vital in advanced force measurement systems. These devices connect the analog output of force transducers to digital inputs for data acquisition and analysis. Interface load cells, torque transducers, and multi-axis sensors produce a small analog voltage proportional to the applied force. This signal needs careful conditioning and conversion before it can be used for logging, viewing, and analysis. The ADC carries out this important conversion, changing the continuous analog voltage into a discrete digital representation.

Reaction Torque 101

January 14, 2025

Interface reaction torque transducers offer exceptional measurement accuracy in static and low-rotation applications. A reaction torque transducer uses strain gage technology. These sensitive components deform slightly when subjected to torque. The static, stationary nature simplifies integration into test setups and existing systems. They are available in various configurations for diverse applications, including shaft, flange, and square drive.
