Sensing the World of Load Cells and Accelerometers
Load cells and accelerometers are sensors with two different purposes in test and measurement. Interface load cells are perfect for measuring static forces with high precision. An accelerometer excels in detecting dynamic motion, vibrations, and impact. There are use cases for load cells and accelerometers to work together in a single advanced system. Interface can provide the force and measurement solutions for systems that measure force, weight, torque, acceleration, motion, and vibration.

Force Measurement Keeps UAVs Flying High
Interface force sensors, including load cells and multi-axis sensors, provide precise data on loads, stresses, and strains experienced by UAV components. To validate unmanned aerial vehicles during flight, these sensors provide information that helps engineers optimize designs, validate structural integrity, and ensure airworthiness. Engineers can identify potential weaknesses in UAVs by measuring forces during tests like wing fatigue, maneuverability, motor torque, fine-tuning control systems, and maximizing flight performance.
