Cycle Testing 101

Interface 101 series highlights cycle testing, which uses load cells, torque transducers, and multi-axis sensors to evaluate functional reliability, kinematic wear, seal integrity, switch actuation life, joint loosening, and mechanical degradation across hundreds, thousands, or millions of operating cycles. Cycle testing is an evaluation methodology used to verify product endurance, track mechanical wear, and establish operational life expectancy under repetitive dynamic loading.
INTERFACE 101 3 AXIS LOAD CELLS

3-Axis Load Cells 101

Interface 3-Axis Load Cells measure forces along three mutually perpendicular axes: X, Y, and Z. Interface offers 3-axis load cells with varying capacities, dimensions, and specifications to measure force and torque. The multi-axis sensors require no mathematical manipulation for standard 3-axis force measurements as each signal directly correlates to a specific measurement direction. These advanced load cells are used in aerospace, medical, automotive, automation, robotics, manufacturing and product testing applications.
INTERFACE 101 CONNECTORS

Connectors 101

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.
