2 AXIS 101

2-Axis Load Cells 101

Interface 2-Axis Load cells accurately measure forces or torques in two perpendicular directions simultaneously, all from a single, integrated device. The bi-axial sensors include multiple, isolated strain gage bridges within a single sensor body. While a single-axis sensor uses one bridge to measure force along one axis, such as tension or compression, a 2-axis sensor employs additional bridges to produce separate, independent output signals for the orthogonal axes. The primary technical advantage of a 2-axis multi-axis design is the ability to acquire comprehensive, richer data about force interaction from a single measurement point.

Round Square Multi Axis Sensors 1

Examining Round and Square Multi-Axis Sensors

Two common shapes for Interface multi-axis load cells are round and square. Square multi-axis load cells have a cuboid or block-like shape. This geometry often simplifies mounting and alignment. Round multi-axis load cells have a cylindrical or disc-like shape. This model design is a compact, low-profile form factor, which can be crucial in space-constrained applications. Interface 2-axis, 3-axis, 6-axis, and axial torsion load cells deliver high-accuracy measurements for advanced requirements of more data than a single-axis load cell.
