Moment 101

August 6, 2026

Interface's 101 Series defines moment as the measure of a force's tendency to cause rotational movement, bending, or tilting when applied at a distance from a fixed point or axis. In force measurement, moment is the physical displacement or rotation that occurs when an unbalanced force acts on an object, and measuring moment in multi-axis sensors provides critical data for a variety of industry applications.

Enhancing Structural Testing with Multi-Axis Load Cells

November 16, 2023

Interface 2-axis, 3-axis, and 6-axis load cells are all excellent options for structural testing. Multi-axis load cells are essential tools for structural testing, providing valuable insights into the behavior of structures under various loading conditions. These multi-axis sensors measure forces in multiple directions, enabling engineers to identify potential weaknesses, assess structural integrity, and optimize designs.

Monitoring and Controlling Spillway Lift Gates

October 31, 2023

Interface load cells are used in spillway gates to measure the force or load acting on the gate. Measuring accuracy is essential for managing water flow in spillways, dams, and similar water management structures. Civil engineers and equipment manufacturers need immediate data to modernize vital infrastructure worldwide. Retrofitting spillways with advanced sensor technologies is essential to maintain gates, improve lift and closure, protect the environment, and safeguard people.
