Overload

Understanding and Preventing Load Cell Overload

Interface offers patented overload protection for load cells. Overload detection is crucial for maintaining load cell accuracy. Properly detecting and handling overload conditions can prevent permanent damage and ensure the sensor's longevity. By understanding the signs of overload, managing impact loads, and employing preventive measures, users can maintain the integrity of their measurement systems. Regular maintenance and proper design considerations are vital to avoiding the detrimental effects of overload and ensuring accurate, long-term performance of load cells.

INTERFACE TECH TALK Millivolts Per Volt 2

Detailing Sensor Rated Output Millivolts Per Volt

Interface sensor specifications state rated output, expressed in millivolts per volt (mV/V), as the electrical output of a load cell, multi-axis sensor, or reaction torque transducer in mV/V of excitation at the rated load. It essentially expresses a load cell's sensitivity. RO represents the change in output voltage in millivolts of the load cell relative to a change in the excitation voltage in volts applied to it.
INDICATORS FOR LOAD AND TORQUE 2

Essential Interface Indicators for Load Cells and Torque Transducers

Interface Indicator Instrumetation devices come in various configurations to suit various testing needs from handheld to mounted displays. They include load cell indicators, torque transducer indicators, and multi-axis sensor indicators. These indicators cater to different testing environments, connectivity needs, and sensors. When pairing your instrument with a specific sensor, we recommend requesting a system-level calibration to ensure optimal performance.
INTERFACE TECH TALK Need Repair

How Do You Know if Your Load Cell Needs Calibration Service or Repair?

Interface Calibration and Repair Services answers when a load cell might need repair. One sign is if the zero balance has shifted significantly since it was first installed. This could indicate that the load cell has been overloaded or damaged. Another sign is if the output varies significantly when the same load is applied. This could also indicate a mechanical issue.If you suspect that your load cell is damaged, you can perform a quick diagnostic check using an ohmmeter. This will help you determine if the bridge circuitry and zero balance are within specifications. If not, then the load cell should be sent to Interface for further evaluation and repair.

INTERFACE 101 LOAD CELL SIMULATOR

Load Cell Simulator 101

A load cell simulator is a device that mimics the electrical signal of a load cell. This allows technicians to test and calibrate measurement systems without applying physical force or weight to the load.   Interface load cell simulators are an essential accessory and valuable investment for any testing lab or research facility frequently using load cells. These simulators can help to improve safety, reduce downtime, improve accuracy, lower costs, and increase convenience.
