INTERFACE TECH TALK Metrology 1

Why is Metrology Fundamental to Test and Measurement?

Metrology, the science of measurement, is the foundational pillar of the test and measurement industry. Metrology is critical for quality control, regulatory compliance, and the development of new products and processes across a wide range of industries. Interface LowProfile Load Cells and Gold Standard Calibration Solutions are standards of measurement excellence required in metrology.
INTERFACE 101 FLEXURES

Load Cell Flexures 101

Interface designs all of our load cell flexures. A flexure is a specially designed component that can bend under a load without breaking. They are used in sensors where precise, frictionless movement is needed, like measuring force. The flexure, a complex machined part, acts as the spring element. With thousands of models, capacities, and configurations, manufacturing our flexures is paramount to our load cell accuracy, quality, and precision performance.
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.
