6-Axis Load Cells 101
Interface 6‑axis load cells measure forces along three perpendicular axes and the corresponding moments (torque) about those axes. 6-axis sensors are monolithic flexure instruments equipped with specialized strain-gage bridges. The design is engineered to maintain high stiffness while isolating complex loads into independent electrical signals. Standard-capacity sensors utilize six full-bridge channels, while high-capacity models may employ twelve bridges to increase structural integrity and signal resolution. 6-Axis Load Cells 101 reviews the technical performance and features of the advanced load cell used to acquire more data for complex test and measurement programs, including robotics, aerospace testing, automotive components, energy, and medical equipment designs.

Interface Data Sheet 101
Interface Data Sheet 101 reviews what to expect from our technical product data sheets. Consider data sheets as a technical roadmap of mechanical and electrical performance information. Interface data sheets include features, a reference image, performance specs, and drawings. The characteristics defined on a product data sheet are used to distinguish successful validation from a system failure by highlighting the individual model's specifications, dimensions, diagrams, characteristics, connectors, and wiring, when applicable.

Calibration Certificates 101
A calibration certificate is documented proof that a load cell has undergone professional calibration and meets industry standards. Interface calibrates every load cell we manufacture. We calibrate over 100,000 load cells annually, and an Interface Calibration Certificate accompanies every new sensor we send to a customer. Interface provides calibration services on used sensors, with a yearly calibration recommendation.

Interface Load Cells 501 Materials and Process Control Testing Guide
Interface Load Cells 501 Guide is a technical resource for testing professionals and engineers. The reference explores advanced load cell applications, providing insights into material behavior under various loading conditions. The 501 Guide helps you make informed decisions about material suitability for various applications. Selecting the right load cell is vital. Understand the concept of fatigue-rated cells and the stringent design considerations behind them. Learn to differentiate between fatigue-rated and non-rated cells, ensuring you choose the most appropriate tool for the job.

High Temperature Load Cells 101
Most Interface standard load cell models are rated for an upper operating temperature limit of 200°F. Special models can be engineered to operate as high as 500°F by request for customization. We also carry a line of intrinsically safe load cells that are designed and used in harsh environments. Learn more about high temperature load cell considerations and options.
