Untethered Precision with Wireless Complete Measurement Systems

Interface Wireless Complete Systems eliminate unknown parameters and configuration guesswork when pairing sensors with wireless telemetry devices. The versatility of paired wireless sensors and instrumentation supports applications where physical cables are either hazardous, impractical, or physically impossible to route. Interface's wireless calibrated complete systems are designed for easy deployment.

Engineering Drivetrain Peak Performance Using Torque and Force

Interface provides force and torque sensors to automotive test labs and engineers for performance testing of drivetrains, the critical mechanical pathway that transfers power to the wheels in vehicles of all types. Direct physical measurement of torque, axial thrust, and multi-axis reaction forces provides the foundational data required to evaluate true efficiency, map dynamic transients, and prevent mechanical fatigue across rigorous automotive test cycles. Interface's AxialTQ is designed for high-accuracy drivetrain testing.

Types of Automotive Testing and Validation

Interface load cells, torque transducers, and multi-axis sensors provide data to automotive test labs and engineers at every stage of vehicle development, from raw chassis dynamics and EV battery pack integrity to powertrain efficiency and interior ergonomics. Automotive development relies heavily on physical testing to validate simulation models, determine assembly, demonstrate structural durability, and verify engine performance under load, stress, impact, and varying torque levels.

Refining Robotic Gripper Performance

High-resolution sensors are needed for greater precision and responsiveness in the design, testing, and monitoring of grippers used in robotics and industrial automation. Force sensing is essential for safe human interaction and for handling fragile tasks. Grippers in humanoids, collaborative robots, and robotic arm integrations that require compact, high-accuracy measurements use Interface load cells, mini load buttons, and multi-axis sensors.

LowProfile Complete Systems for Immediate Force Measurement Deployment

Interface LowProfile Load Cell Complete Systems are pre-configured measurement solutions to eliminate trial-and-error in setup by pairing the sensor with instrumentation, accessories, and software. System level calibration provides documented traceability across the entire signal path using the LowProfile and system components.

5-Axis Load Cells 101

An Interface 5-axis load cell is a multi-axis sensor designed to resolve complex multi-directional loading into three orthogonal forces and two bending moments (Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, and My). By combining multiple sensing elements into one precisely machined structure, a 5-axis load cell provides comprehensive measurement of complex loading conditions that conventional single-axis load cells cannot accurately capture. Learn more in 5-Axis Load Cell 101, part of Interface's 101 Series.
