Interface defines hysteresis as the algebraic difference between the load cell's output at a specific load when approached from an increasing direction versus a decreasing direction. Hysteresis represents a physical limit of the sensor's design. Hysteresis is typically expressed as a percentage of Full Scale (%FS) on a sensor's data sheet or calibration certificate. Learn more about this vital characteristic in Interface's Hysteresis 101.

True precision in testing requires developing a mindset that embraces failure, diagnoses invisible errors, and knows that the best results come from understanding that every component, connection, and procedure is part of a complex system that demands relentless attention. Interface provides high-accuracy test and measurement products, including load cells, for testing labs.

The future of autonomous vehicles depends on rigorous testing and measurement. Interface, a leader in force and torque measurement, is at the forefront of enabling this autonomous revolution. We have provided high-accuracy sensors and instrumentation to automotive, aerospace, and industrial manufacturers for decades. As autonomy integrates into these fields, Interface is uniquely positioned to support the complex testing needs of next-generation vehicles for use across land, sea, and air.
