Interface details how to choose the right load cell. Our force measurement experts provide questions to answer and key factors affecting load cell options.
Interface applications and load cell expert Keith Skidmore was the featured presenter at the latest ForceLeaders Forum hosted event, Load Cell Basics. In his comprehensive presentation, he highlights key subjects including fundamentals of load cell design, sensor specifications, use cases, troubleshooting and valuable performance related topics.
Interface defines creep, an important accuracy specification for load cells, in the essential 101 Series. When a force is applied to a solid material within its elastic limit, the resulting deflection will subtly increase over time if the force is held constant. This phenomenon, known as creep, is not permanent but recoverable. It's important to note that the signal from a load cell exhibits this creep, making it a key consideration in all load cell applications.
A load cell by definition is a sensor that measures and converts force into an electrical signal. Here are some basics about load cells and how they are used across various industries. This is Load Cell 101 from the inventors of the low profile load cell, Interface.
Interface answers technical questions about load cells from testing engineers about overloading, tare, mechanics, cabling, cycles and strain gages. Part two of our Load Cell Basics Technical Q&A.
