Food research and development requires precise measurements to move from concept to distribution. Discover how Interface load cells and force measurement solutions help researchers convert taste and texture into repeatable, objective data in the initial food R&D test kitchen. Interface sensor technologies are used in weighing, packaging, mixing, production, and satisfaction commercial food testing.

Interface new product releases for Summer 2026 include three new slip ring torque transducers and two new 5-axis load cells. There are four new complete systems that pair the sensor, instrumentation, accessories and include a full system level calibration. Learn about our new mini beam load cell and mini torque transducer complete systems, wireless telemetry options and a load washer and torque transducer complete system.

S-type load cell installation success hinges on protecting the sensor's gauged area from extraneous mechanical forces during setup. Interface provides installation tips, a setup video, and instructions. By ensuring that all tightening torque is applied to a single end, maintaining a minimum thread-depth engagement of one diameter, locking the threads to a shoulder or jam nut, and using high-grade hardware for loads exceeding the sensor’s capacity, you eliminate the leading causes of failure. Proper installation protects the load cell's calibration integrity, longevity, and safety across applications.
