INTERFACE TECH TALK Adv Compression Only

Unidirectional Advantage of Compression-Only Load Cells

Interface compression-only load cells are utilized in test and measurement applications for enhanced performance, quality, and reliability in single-axis compression scenarios. The deformation of the strain gage provides measurement data. The design offers a more stable output and a higher resistance to off-axis loading, which can significantly reduce measurement uncertainty. Interface Tech Talk answers the unidirectional advantages of using compression-only load cells.
INTERFACE TECH TALK Resistance Output Vs Rated Output

Resistance Output Versus Rated Output

Rated Output (RO) is the dynamic electrical signal that directly represents the applied mechanical force. Resistance Output is a static electrical characteristic of the load cell's internal circuitry. When you are performing force measurements, you are primarily interested in the Rated Output. This value, in conjunction with your excitation voltage, enables you to accurately convert the measured millivolt signal into engineering units of force in lbf or Newtons.
