INTERFACE 101 LOAD CELL SIMULATOR

Load Cell Simulator 101

December 5, 2023
A load cell simulator is a device that mimics the electrical signal of a load cell. This allows technicians to test and calibrate measurement systems without applying physical force or weight to the load.   Interface load cell simulators are an essential accessory and valuable investment for any testing lab or research facility frequently using load cells. These simulators can help to improve safety, reduce downtime, improve accuracy, lower costs, and increase convenience.

Column Load Cells

Interface Column Load Cells

November 9, 2023
Interface column load cells handle higher axial (vertical) loads while maintaining accuracy and reliability. They are used for vertical force measurement applications, including high-capacity weighing, thrust measurement, and structural and material testing.  Column load cells are rugged, providing a more durable solution for testing and calibration that has exposure to environmental conditions.

Fatigue Testing 1

Fatigue Testing with Interface Load Cells

November 2, 2023
Fatigue testing requires accurate and reliable force measurement. Interface fatigue-rated load cells are designed to withstand the rigors of repeated loading, which makes them ideal for even the most demanding high cycle count fatigue testing applications. Interface uses 'fatigue-rated' as an exact specification that defines a special class of load cell design and construction.

INTERFACE 101 EXCITATION

Excitation Voltage 101

October 24, 2023
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.
