Load Cell Flexures 101
Interface designs all of our load cell flexures. A flexure is a specially designed component that can bend under a load without breaking. They are used in sensors where precise, frictionless movement is needed, like measuring force. The flexure, a complex machined part, acts as the spring element. With thousands of models, capacities, and configurations, manufacturing our flexures is paramount to our load cell accuracy, quality, and precision performance.
