Interface Load Cells 301 Characteristics and Applications Guide

The Interface Load Cells 301 Guide is a technical resource for test engineers and measurement device users. It provides comprehensive insights into load cell characteristics, performance, and optimization tips. The essential tool offers technical explanations, visualizations, and scientific details to ensure you understand and maximize the functionality of load cells in diverse applications. Topics include load cell stiffness, on-axis and off-axis loading, natural frequency, calibration loads, extraneous loading effects, and more.
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 101 MOUNTING

Load Cell Mounting 101

Interface provides complete load cell product datasheets and drawings to locate the features for mounting. Our instructions include model, material, capacity, mounting holes, threads and dowel pins, and pilot specifications for live and dead-end use. Properly mounting a load cell ensures the sensor provides the most stable readings and accurate measurements. Learn more tips by reviewing Mounting Load Cells 101.
INTERFACE 101 EXCITATION

Excitation Voltage 101

An excitation voltage is needed to power the load cell and ensure the output signal is accurate. Load cell excitation is necessary to ensure the accuracy and reliability of load cell measurements. Interface provides electrical performance data on all specifications represented as VDC MAX, when applicable.  The data for excitation voltage is listed under the electrical section of a transducer model’s specification datasheet, along with other factors, including rated output, bridge resistance, and zero balance.

GAGES 101

Strain Gages 101

Interface defines strain gages in our 101 Series. The major difference in strain gages is the base material used in the manufacturing process. Different materials are used when a load cell needs to perform optimally in various temperatures, humidity levels, and elevations. Interface makes its strain gages to produce the most accurate and reliable precision force measurement solutions.
