Data Sheet 101

Interface Data Sheet 101

Interface Data Sheet 101 reviews what to expect from our technical product data sheets. Consider data sheets as a technical roadmap of mechanical and electrical performance information. Interface data sheets include features, a reference image, performance specs, and drawings. The characteristics defined on a product data sheet are used to distinguish successful validation from a system failure by highlighting the individual model's specifications, dimensions, diagrams, characteristics, connectors, and wiring, when applicable.
Elasticity 101

Elasticity 101

Interface's Elasticity 101 details the importance of Hooke's Law of Physics. In a load cell, we want a material with a very predictable stiffness. If the material permanently deforms or creeps, the deformation value won't return to zero, and your measurements will be inaccurate. A load cell is essentially a mechanical transducer that converts mechanical force into elastic potential energy, which we then capture as data. Understanding how your sensor bends is the first step toward mastering precision force measurement. Learn more in Interface's ForceEDU 101 Series.
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.
