Force Makes the Circular Economy Go Around
Interface load cells and instrumentation are used in different facilities and resource manufacturing processes within the circular economy. Our sensor technologies help to measure and monitor forces, loads, and weight within the tools, robotics, and machinery used to optimize resources. Our sensors are also commonly used to test new products for material strength, fatigue lifecycle, quality, and function.

Strain Testing 101
Interface tension and compression load cells are used for strain testing across multiple industries. Learn about strain testing, a very common in general test and measurement applications. Strain refers to the deformation or shape a material experiences due to applied stress. Load cells are used to measure how much a sample or material stretches, compresses, or shears and distorts in response to a force.

New Interface Accessories Selection Guide
Interface Accessories Selection Guide will help you complete your test and measurement project design with the highest performance. Accessories are available in many design configurations for load cells, torque transducers, instrumentation, and calibration systems. Use this Interface resource guide to combine accessories designed for the specific measurement products.

The Convenience of Interface Portable Instrumentation Devices
Interface portable instrumentation devices allow measurements from load cells, torque transducers, and multi-axis sensors to be taken on-site, eliminating the need for a single testing location. Common use cases for portable devices are continuous monitoring applications. Additionally, portable instruments are user-friendly and require minimal setup, making them ideal for field applications or quick spot checks. Their compact size suits them for tight spaces or situations where benchtop instruments are impractical.

Understanding the Anatomy of Fatigue Failure
Interface fatigue-rated load cells are designed to meet the demands of fatigue testing. As load cells are structural devices stressed during their normal use, they are commonly given ultimate overload ratings to characterize the magnitude of static load they will withstand without failing structurally. Learn more about fatigue theory from Interface force measurement experts.

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.

Load Cells Maximize Weighbridge Performance
Interface load cells are incredibly precise and deliver highly accurate weight readings, even with constant weighbridge use. This minimizes errors in measurements, ensuring reliable data for every weighbridge operation. We offer platform scale load cells, weighcheck load cells and wireless solutions. We also have digital indicators for weight measurements to use at weighbridge sites.

The Textile Industry’s Future Demands Force Measurement Solutions
Interface force, torque, and weight measurement devices are valuable tools that can revolutionize the textile industry. By embracing this cutting-edge technology, manufacturers can unlock valuable process insights, enhance production for unparalleled efficiency, ensure consistency in fabric quality, extend equipment use, and significantly reduce maintenance costs.

Do You Call it a Thru-hole, Donut, or Load Washer?
Interface Thru-Hole Load Cells and Torque Transducers have a center-hole design that makes them versatile, accurate, and compact measurement solutions. Sometimes referred to as donuts, washers, or through holes, they offer high-precision measurements, ensuring reliable data collection for quality control and performance monitoring tasks. Their compact size allows space-saving installation even in tight areas, making them ideal for applications with limited footprints, like robotic systems or custom machinery.
