INTERFACE 101 CREEP

Creep 101

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.
Load Cell Set Up Basics

Load Cell Set Up Basics

Interface offers resources to help install new and used load cells for testing projects. Review the steps that optimize sensors for basic test applications, including visual inspection, specification and documentation reviews, load cell fundamentals, instrumentation considerations, and more. Learn where to find valuable resources and instrumentations.
Portable Instrumentation

The Convenience of Interface Portable Instrumentation Devices

Interface portable instrumentation devices allow measurements from load cells, torque transducers, and multi-axis sensors to be taken on-site, eliminating the need for a single testing location. Common use cases for portable devices are continuous monitoring applications. Additionally, portable instruments are user-friendly and require minimal setup, making them ideal for field applications or quick spot checks. Their compact size suits them for tight spaces or situations where benchtop instruments are impractical.
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.
Textile Future

The Textile Industry’s Future Demands Force Measurement Solutions

Interface force, torque, and weight measurement devices are valuable tools that can revolutionize the textile industry. By embracing this cutting-edge technology, manufacturers can unlock valuable process insights, enhance production for unparalleled efficiency, ensure consistency in fabric quality, extend equipment use, and significantly reduce maintenance costs.
THRU HOLE DONUT

Do You Call it a Thru-hole, Donut, or Load Washer?

Interface Thru-Hole Load Cells and Torque Transducers have a center-hole design that makes them versatile, accurate, and compact measurement solutions. Sometimes referred to as donuts, washers, or through holes, they offer high-precision measurements, ensuring reliable data collection for quality control and performance monitoring tasks. Their compact size allows space-saving installation even in tight areas, making them ideal for applications with limited footprints, like robotic systems or custom machinery.
Spi

Why Choose a Single Point Impact Cell?

Interface Single Point Impact Load Cells (SPI) are sensors that accurately measure the impact force or load exerted on a single point. The Interface SPI and MBI are two models for platform scale single point impact load cells used for materials testing, impact testing, product durability testing, and quality control processes. Learn about the design and use cases for SPI load cells.
