Moment 101

Moment 101

Interface's 101 Series defines moment as the measure of a force's tendency to cause rotational movement, bending, or tilting when applied at a distance from a fixed point or axis. In force measurement, moment is the physical displacement or rotation that occurs when an unbalanced force acts on an object, and measuring moment in multi-axis sensors provides critical data for a variety of industry applications. Learn more in Moment 101.
Rigging

The Mechanics of Suspended Loads in Heavy Rigging

Interface products provide real-time measurements of cable tension and load weight to prevent dangerous overloads of rigging equipment. Rigging converts rotational, linear, or gravitational forces into controlled mechanical displacement. It relies on calculating vector forces, tension distribution, centers of gravity, and safe working load (SWL) limits to ensure that heavy components remain structurally stable and balanced throughout dynamic motion.
INTERFACE TECH TALK Single Load Cell Platform Weighing

Why Use a Single Load Cell for Platform Weighing?

Interface Tech Talk answers how a single point load cell measures the weight of objects placed anywhere on a weighing platform or scale. Interface Single Point Load Cells compensate for off-center (eccentric) loading, have high repeatability and linearity, and have fast response times. For weighing, the single point load cell is a cost-effective solution for OEMs and scale manufacturers. They are simple to install, have a long service life, and require low maintenance. 
Digital Twins

Digital Twins Bridge Physical Stresses and Virtual Models in Test and Measurement

Interface sensor technologies are used in digital twins for structural testing, fatigue monitoring, and model validation. A digital twin uses force or torque inputs of load, torque, and weight to bind virtual simulations to actual mechanical behavior. By integrating Interface load cells, torque transducers, wireless telemetry systems, and digital instrumentation into your digital twin framework, you eliminate simulation drift and ground your virtual assets in real physical evidence.
