Interface force measurement solutions are used for all types of construction applications from bridge and high-rise building projects, to foundation load tests and structural monitoring. Our load cells and instrumentation are used in crane and heavy lifting operations, material testing and equipment calibration.
Maritime applications of Interface load cells, load pins, tension links, load shackles, wireless instruments in splash zones, offshore and underwater sites.
Load pins are a type of load cell that replaces bolts, clevis, sheave equalizer pins, and load-bearing components to measure tensile and compression forces. Interface standard and custom load pins are used in lifting devices, structures, energy and submersible applications.
Interface Load Pins pins are commonly used in cranes and lifts. Through ingenuity of engineers and our customers, load pins are rapidly expanding in popularity for infrastructure, aerospace, maritime, agriculture, and industrial use cases. Learn more about uses in tractors, submersible boat docks, landing gear tests and more.
An excitation voltage is needed to power the load cell and ensure the output signal is accurate. Load cell excitation is necessary to ensure the accuracy and reliability of load cell measurements. Interface provides electrical performance data on all specifications represented as VDC MAX, when applicable. The data for excitation voltage is listed under the electrical section of a transducer model’s specification datasheet, along with other factors, including rated output, bridge resistance, and zero balance. Learn more in our 101 Series that answers the most frequently requested questions about load cells and force measurement.
Interface worked with a civil construction contractor for a large bridge project by supplying critical load pins to measure force for traffic and seismic activities.
