Lowprofile Mounting No Base

Mounting LowProfile Load Cells Without an Interface Base

Interface answers how to mount a LowProfile Load Cell without a factory-installed base. Direct mounting a load cell onto a structure should precisely reproduce the mounting used during its calibration. This ensures that the sensor operates under the same mechanical constraints and material interactions for which its performance specifications were validated.
