Impact Testing for Millisecond Assessments
Interface impact testing force measurement solutions are used in material, component, and product tests, from sports equipment to autos and aircraft. High-velocity impact testing demands high-velocity sensors and low-latency instrumentation to capture millisecond-long force spikes without data gaps or signal clipping. Pairing the load cell and instrument is critical for a successful impact testing system.

Engineering Performance and Safety in Sports Equipment
Interface force measurement sensors allow engineers to push the limits of physics in sporting equipment design and testing. Sports technology use Interface high-accuracy load cells to provide the empirical evidence needed to innovate safely, ensuring that equipment is lighter, faster, and more resilient for professional and casual sports of all types.

Force Measurement in Crash Testing Improves Designs and Saves Lives
Crash testing uses Interface load cells to collect high-speed, accurate force data to identify a vehicle's specific weaknesses by measuring the energy and impact of a collision. Load cell data is used in impact, component, and structural crash testing to verify safety ratings and inform design improvements.

Additional Types of Testing Using Load Cells

The Crushing Reality of Impact Loads
Interface details the importance of understanding impact loads, which introduce a dynamic element that significantly amplifies the force experienced by the load cell. Physics are important in force measurement, understand how to protect your sensors from overload and damage from impact. Learn about impact drop testing and key considerations when choosing a sensor.

Force Measurement is Fundamental in Material Testing
Interface load cells, multi-axis sensors, and data acquisition systems are used for material testing. Common uses of force measurement in material tests include applications to measure hardness, torsion, strength, compression, bending, shear, impact, creep, fatigue, and nondestructive capabilities. It is common to have our 1200 LowProfile load cells installed into material testing machines at test labs and onsite. We also supply a variety of miniature load cells and load pins for material testing, depending on the type of equipment and environment used for tests.
