Load cells are electronic devices that measure the force applied to them. Interface products are made to last, in fact we have many load cells that are in-market and being used for high-accuracy testing that were manufactured decades ago. Why do they last? Quality of design, material construction, build process, calibration, and regular maintenance will prolong the life of a load cell. Like any electronic device, load cells can go bad for a few reasons. It is also important to know that load cells can be repaired. If you are concerned about whether your load cell is working properly, do a quick health check and request an evaluation from Interface.
