Interface 2-Axis Load cells accurately measure forces or torques in two perpendicular directions simultaneously, all from a single, integrated device. The bi-axial sensors include multiple, isolated strain gage bridges within a single sensor body. While a single-axis sensor uses one bridge to measure force along one axis, such as tension or compression, a 2-axis sensor employs additional bridges to produce separate, independent output signals for the orthogonal axes. The primary technical advantage of a 2-axis multi-axis design is the ability to acquire comprehensive, richer data about force interaction from a single measurement point.
