Interface’s load cells, torque transducers, and instrumentation are used in testing long-haul and heavy-duty vehicles for safety, weighing, and performance. Every heavy-duty vehicle, from design to road use, must undergo testing and measurement. From long-haul regional freighters and autonomous electric transport systems to diesel tire tests and freight load balancing, accurate data demands sensor reliability. With 30 million active heavy-duty vehicles worldwide, precise force, load, and torque sensors are vital to heavy-duty transportation safety and efficiency. Discover how advanced load cells, torque transducers, and wireless telemetry validate structural integrity, optimize electric vehicle powertrains, and secure the next generation of automated freight transport.

Torque is the rotational force that causes an object to turn. Interface rotary torque transducers are versatile sensors that integrate electronics directly onto the rotating shaft. Engineers measure torque using torque transducers that convert a torsional mechanical input into an electrical output signal, typically a voltage or current. Rotary torque transducers are ideal for dynamic applications where continuous rotation is required, eliminating the need for complex wiring and reducing potential points of failure. They are commonly used in measuring torque for engines, gearboxes, robotics, aircraft, medical devices, tractors, and windmills. If it turns, it needs to be measured.
