Basics on Load Cell Base Kits

Interface Load Cell Base Kits are a type of mounting plate guaranteed to provide optimum support for low profile load cells. Using the base or a support surface with its equivalent flatness and stability is required to ensure the exceptional performance. They are heat treated and high strength bases, available in all standard sizes of our LowProfile models including 1200, 1100, 1000, 2400 and 3200 Series.

What is Moment Compensation?

Every Interface LowProfile load cell is moment compensated to minimize sensitivity to extraneous loads. Moment compensated load cells are designed to counteract the external forces or moments by using a configuration of strain gages and electronics that can detect and compensate for these forces. The strain gages are arranged in a way that allows the load cell to measure the force applied to it in multiple directions, and the electronics can then use this information to calculate the impact of external forces and moments on the measurement.

LowProfile Load Cells 101

The first low profile load cell from Interface was introduced in 1969. The LowProfile is a standard in the force measurement industry. The LowProfile design resembles two shear beam cells end-to-end, exhibiting the stability of a doubled-ended shear beam and augmented by the fact that the circular design is equivalent to four double-ended cells. Thus, it provides stability in eight directions at the center point.
