2025 Recap of Trending Interface Articles
Interface recaps the 2025 most-read InterfaceIQ articles, case studies, and technical deep-dives for the force measurement community and load cell users. The articles reflect the perfect balance of "Interface 101" fundamentals, sensor use cases, and industry-leading future-forward applications that defined the users of Interface's growing technical content library this past year.

Core Measurement Fundamentals of Force, Stress, and Strain
Understanding differences in measuring force, stress, and strain, and how Interface's load cells accurately measure changes in objects, will help you better prepare to maximize the potential of your force measurement solutions for critical applications.

Mounting Plates 101
Interface mounting plates are engineered support foundations designed to provide a stable and prepared surface for a load cell. They provide the solidity that ensures the sensor operates within its specified parameters. Mounting plates are machined to the tightest specifications and extremely low flatness tolerances. This meticulous attention to detail ensures a flat, smooth mating surface for the load cell, minimizing local deformation and maximizing measurement accuracy.

Connectors 101
Interface connectors are the critical link that physically and electrically connects a sensor's cable end to a corresponding receptacle on the instrumentation device. When selecting a cable for your test and measurement application, always consider the connector type at both ends to ensure compatibility and optimal performance. Use Interface guides to make the right connection between your load cell and data acquisition system.

Rotary Torque 101
Torque is the rotational force that causes an object to turn. Interface rotary torque transducers are versatile sensors that integrate electronics directly onto the rotating shaft. Engineers measure torque using torque transducers that convert a torsional mechanical input into an electrical output signal, typically a voltage or current. Rotary torque transducers are ideal for dynamic applications where continuous rotation is required, eliminating the need for complex wiring and reducing potential points of failure. They are commonly used in measuring torque for engines, gearboxes, robotics, aircraft, medical devices, tractors, and windmills. If it turns, it needs to be measured.
