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.
Engineers and manufacturers of high-performance race cars and parts rely on Interface load cells and torque transducers for precision testing solutions used in championship motorsports.
Interface details how to choose the right load cell. Our force measurement experts provide questions to answer and key factors affecting load cell options.
Interface compiled the top 10 best selling force measurement products in 2019 to give you an idea of what's hot and trending with load cells, torque transducers and more. Happy holidays from Interface.
Interface compression load cells are used in OEM and test and measurement . The compressive strength of materials and structures is important to engineers. Load cells measure the pushing force of an application on a single axis.
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.
Interface Custom Solutions creates unique mobile and all-in-one test systems for all types of testing , Test on the go, outside the lab, with mobile enclosed cases protecting the force and torque devices, along with instrumentation.
A load cell by definition is a sensor that measures and converts force into an electrical signal. Here are some basics about load cells and how they are used across various industries. This is Load Cell 101 from the inventors of the low profile load cell, Interface.
