Interface Load Cells 201 General Procedures Guide
The Interface Load Cells 201 Guide is a technical reference that zeros in on general procedures for using load cells, specifically highlighting excitation voltage and mounting procedures. This is a valuable resource for test and measurement professionals. This is an excerpt from the popular Interface Load Cell Field Guide.

What is Proof Testing and Why Does it Matter?
Interface load cells and data acquisition systems are used for proof testing, which determines the strength and integrity of a test subject by applying a controlled, measured load to it. What is proof testing? Learn the steps of proof testing for stress, fatigue, and materials. It is frequently used by industries such as construction, natural resources, infrastructure, heavy machinery, and manufacturing to verify the strong point and durability of objects and structures.

Load Cells Built for Stress Testing
Interface load cells are designed and manufactured for stress testing. Stress testing with load cells is an integral part of research, design, and manufacturing processes for various products and components. It helps to ensure that material, equipment, and final products can withstand the stresses they will be subjected to in regular use.

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.
