Shear Versus Compaction

Comparing Shear Versus Compaction Force Measurement

Interface load cells are used in shear and compaction force measurement. Understanding the differences between shear and compaction is determinative, as it directly impacts applications, sensor choices, and output data for testing analysis. Learn about shear force versuse compaction, also known as compressive, measurement, applications and load cell types. This understanding aids in making informed test and measurement decisions in material science, mechanical engineering, and industrial automation.
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.

INTERFACE TECH TALK FATIGUE FAILURE

Understanding the Anatomy of Fatigue Failure

Interface fatigue-rated load cells are designed to meet the demands of fatigue testing. As load cells are structural devices stressed during their normal use, they are commonly given ultimate overload ratings to characterize the magnitude of static load they will withstand without failing structurally. Learn more about fatigue theory from Interface force measurement experts.
INTERFACE TECH TALK PROOF LOADING

What is Proof Testing and Why Does it Matter?

Interface load cells and data acquisition systems are used for proof testing, which determines the strength and integrity of a test subject by applying a controlled, measured load to it. What is proof testing? Learn the steps of proof testing for stress, fatigue, and materials. It is frequently used by industries such as construction, natural resources, infrastructure, heavy machinery, and manufacturing to verify the strong point and durability of objects and structures.
