Multi Axis Structural Testing

Enhancing Structural Testing with Multi-Axis Load Cells

Interface 2-axis, 3-axis, and 6-axis load cells are all excellent options for structural testing. Multi-axis load cells are essential tools for structural testing, providing valuable insights into the behavior of structures under various loading conditions. These multi-axis sensors measure forces in multiple directions, enabling engineers to identify potential weaknesses, assess structural integrity, and optimize designs.
Column Load Cells

Interface Column Load Cells

Interface column load cells handle higher axial (vertical) loads while maintaining accuracy and reliability. They are used for vertical force measurement applications, including high-capacity weighing, thrust measurement, and structural and material testing.  Column load cells are rugged, providing a more durable solution for testing and calibration that has exposure to environmental conditions.
Fatigue Testing 1

Fatigue Testing with Interface Load Cells

Fatigue testing requires accurate and reliable force measurement. Interface fatigue-rated load cells are designed to withstand the rigors of repeated loading, which makes them ideal for even the most demanding high cycle count fatigue testing applications. Interface uses 'fatigue-rated' as an exact specification that defines a special class of load cell design and construction.
Spillways

Monitoring and Controlling Spillway Lift Gates

Interface load cells are used in spillway gates to measure the force or load acting on the gate. Measuring accuracy is essential for managing water flow in spillways, dams, and similar water management structures. Civil engineers and equipment manufacturers need immediate data to modernize vital infrastructure worldwide. Retrofitting spillways with advanced sensor technologies is essential to maintain gates, improve lift and closure, protect the environment, and safeguard people.
