INTERFACE 101 FLEXURES

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.
56 Years Happy Anniversary 800 X 800 Px

56 Reasons to Love Interface

Interface isn't just another force measurement company. Established in 1968, we think there is no better way to celebrate our 56th anniversary than to highlight why Interface is an unmatched precision measurement solutions provider worldwide.  So, here are 56 reasons to love Interface and why we are the perfect partner for all your test and measurement needs across various industries.
Low Profile Versus Simple

Low Profile Load Cells versus Simple Single Column Load Cells

The Interface LowProfile Load Cell, a pancake design, is dramatically better than the simple single column cell in every respect. The low profile design outperforms the single column design. The overall proprietary Interface LowProfile design is more compact, with all the components bonded to the flexure structure, making it better able to withstand the 100 million-cycle fatigue life. Our standard 1200 “Blue” LowProfile Load Cell is the most popular load cell in the market and is used in testing labs and industry applications worldwide.
Mining Rare Earths And Minerals

Mining for Rare Earths and Minerals Using Load Cells and Torque Transducers

Interface load cells and torque transducers are addressing challenges and empowering the mining sector as demand for rare earths and minerals rises. Driven by the demand for clean energy minerals like lithium and cobalt, these sensor technologies provide the real-time data needed to optimize operations, safeguard workers, and propel the industry toward a sustainable future.
MINI Marvel

The Marvels of Interface Mini Load Cells

Interface Mini Load Cells are engineered for use in applications that require a light touch, are lightweight, or require less space. The Interface miniature sensor line offers not just small in physical size load cells and torque transducers, they also have a range to test minimal forces with extremely high accuracy. They are making a big impact in industrial automation, aerospace, automotive and medical device OEM products.
Adhesive And Bonding 1

Load Cells for Adhesive and Bonding Shear Testing

Interface provides load cells for adhesive and bond force testing. A shear testing machine uses a load cell to measure the shear strength of bonds and adhesives. A peel test is common for adhesives, adhesive-coated tapes, and paints. Load cells quantify the results and help to determine the failure of the paint and adhesive, an important quality control and design requirement.
