Fatigue Life Prediction

Fundamentals of Fatigue Life Prediction

October 21, 2025
Interface load cells accurately quantify the forces applied during fatigue testing for predicting failure. Fatigue refers to the weakening of material caused by repeatedly applied loads. Failure occurs after a certain number of cycles, even when the stresses are well below the material's ultimate tensile strength. While an accurate prediction of fatigue life is not a reality, theoretical analysis and empirical data allow for useful approximations to estimate the margin of safety for a given design.

Crash Testing

Force Measurement in Crash Testing Improves Designs and Saves Lives

October 16, 2025
Crash testing uses Interface load cells to collect high-speed, accurate force data to identify a vehicle's specific weaknesses by measuring the energy and impact of a collision. Load cell data is used in impact, component, and structural crash testing to verify safety ratings and inform design improvements.

Tension Load Link Systems

Tension Load Link Systems and Applications

October 2, 2025
Interface tension link load cells are specialized force sensors designed to measure tensile or "pulling" forces. Tension load links are frequently used in demanding environments, including nearshore and offshore areas, which require certifications for hazardous locations. They're designed for lifting, weighing, mooring, towing, as well as tension testing and monitoring applications, and are used in marine, aerospace, manufacturing, construction, and logistics industries.

Round Square Multi Axis Sensors 1

Examining Round and Square Multi-Axis Sensors

August 26, 2025
Two common shapes for Interface multi-axis load cells are round and square. Square multi-axis load cells have a cuboid or block-like shape. This geometry often simplifies mounting and alignment. Round multi-axis load cells have a cylindrical or disc-like shape. This model design is a compact, low-profile form factor, which can be crucial in space-constrained applications. Interface 2-axis, 3-axis, 6-axis, and axial torsion load cells deliver high-accuracy measurements for advanced requirements of more data than a single-axis load cell.

INTERFACE TECH TALK Adv Compression Only

Unidirectional Advantage of Compression-Only Load Cells

August 19, 2025
Interface compression-only load cells are utilized in test and measurement applications for enhanced performance, quality, and reliability in single-axis compression scenarios. The deformation of the strain gage provides measurement data. The design offers a more stable output and a higher resistance to off-axis loading, which can significantly reduce measurement uncertainty. Interface Tech Talk answers the unidirectional advantages of using compression-only load cells.
