Transducers for Aircraft Ground Support Equipment Design and Operations
Accurate measurement of force and torque transforms ground support from reactive repairs to proactive, condition-based lifecycle management. Whether installing new hardware or upgrading existing equipment with direct-fit load pins, tension links, and load cells, continuous force, torque, and weight monitoring safeguards aircraft and ground personnel from unnoticed structural stresses, equipment failures, and overloading.

Center of Gravity Case Study Highlights Testing for Stability and Safety
Interface load cells and instrumentation are used for center of gravity tests and force measurement projects as highlighted in a new case study. Accurate CoG testing ensures stability, safety, and performance in spacecraft design, advanced robotics and bridges. CoG is used in structural tests, weighing, lifting, infrastructure projects, industrial automation and surgical robot performance monitoring.

Robust Load Pins Measure Force with Accuracy
Interface load pins are load cells commonly used in lifting, weighing, hoisting, rigging, and retrofitting for accurate force measurement. The load pins are versatile, rugged, and easy to integrate into existing equipment. They are used in infrastructure, aerospace structural testing labs, parts in industrial machines, for optimizing manufacturing, in submersible maritime equipment, and for oil and gas top drives.

Exploring Load Shackle Solutions
Interface load shackle load cells are designed with robust, high-strength materials such as steel or aluminum to handle heavy loads while resisting corrosion and wear. They incorporate integrated strain gage load pin load cells that accurately convert tension forces into readable electronic signals, with Interface ensuring precise calibration for minimal error.These shackles are available in wired and wireless communication options, facilitating seamless integration into data acquisition systems or remote monitoring platforms. Additionally, many load shackles feature overload protection, safeguarding the load cells from excessive forces to enhance safety and extend operational longevity, even in the most demanding environments.

Hazardous Locations ATEX 101
Interface offers a comprehensive range of ATEX-certified products, designed to ensure safety in hazardous locations. An ATEX (atmosphere explosive) certification is given to equipment that conforms to the requirements of the European Union's harmonized standards for equipment used in potentially explosive atmospheres. These intrinsically safe products, including amplified and non-amplified ATEX-certified load cells, load pins, load shackles, load links, instrumentation, and accessories, are your reliable devices designed for test and measurement projects and OEM components. They are also backed by IECEx and North American certifications, further validating their safety standards.
