INTERFACE TECH TALK Equalize Load Cells 1

Equalizing Load Cells in Multi-Cell Systems

Interface details steps for multi-cell systems, such as those used in large-scale weighing and force measurement applications, to ensure each load cell carries an equal portion of the load is critical for accuracy and reliability. Uneven loads can lead to inaccurate data, damage, and potential failure of the load cells.
Adhesive And Bonding 1

Load Cells for Adhesive and Bonding Shear Testing

Interface provides load cells for adhesive and bond force testing. A shear testing machine uses a load cell to measure the shear strength of bonds and adhesives. A peel test is common for adhesives, adhesive-coated tapes, and paints. Load cells quantify the results and help to determine the failure of the paint and adhesive, an important quality control and design requirement.
INTERFACE TECH TALK PROOF LOADING

What is Proof Testing and Why Does it Matter?

Interface load cells and data acquisition systems are used for proof testing, which determines the strength and integrity of a test subject by applying a controlled, measured load to it. What is proof testing? Learn the steps of proof testing for stress, fatigue, and materials. It is frequently used by industries such as construction, natural resources, infrastructure, heavy machinery, and manufacturing to verify the strong point and durability of objects and structures.
INTERFACE TECH TALK Tensile 1

How Does Tensile Testing Work?

Interface supplies load cells for tensile testing. Tensile testing is fundamental in test and measurement. Load cells are commonly used in tension testing to measure and record the force or load applied to a specimen during the test. Tensile testing is used by researchers, testing labs, and engineers across industries including infrastructure, medical, manufacturing, aerospace, consumer goods, automotive, energy, and construction to measure stress, strain, elacity, fatigue and failure.

INTERFACE TECH TALK LOAD CELLS BAD

How Load Cells Can Go Bad

Load cells are electronic devices that measure the force applied to them. Interface products are made to last, in fact we have many load cells that are in-market and being used for high-accuracy testing that were manufactured decades ago. Why do they last? Quality of design, material construction, build process, calibration, and regular maintenance will prolong the life of a load cell. Like any electronic device, load cells can go bad for a few reasons. It is also important to know that load cells can be repaired. If you are concerned about whether your load cell is working properly, do a quick health check and request an evaluation from Interface.
