Strain Testing 101

Interface tension and compression load cells are used for strain testing across multiple industries. Learn about strain testing, a very common in general test and measurement applications. Strain refers to the deformation or shape a material experiences due to applied stress. Load cells are used to measure how much a sample or material stretches, compresses, or shears and distorts in response to a force.

Rod End Load Cells 101

Rod end load cells are designed to measure the tension and compression forces applied to a rod or similar structure. This type of load cell consists of a rod with a threaded connector. The load cell's strain gage measures the deformation caused by the applied force. Interface Rod End Load Cells, including our REC and WMC models, utilize proprietary temperature compensated strain gages for high-accuracy measurement. Rod End Load Cells 101 shares the benefits, common applications and available products for this style of load cell.
