INTERFACE 101 UNIVERSAL

Universal Load Cells 101

Interface Universal Load Cells offer the ability to measure both tension and compression forces. They are versitile force measurement solutions used for all types of applications that need to measure force, weight and shear. Interface’s Model 1200 and 1201 Series IO-Link Universal Load Cells are pancake style load cells that are IO-Link compatible with an open standard serial communication protocol that allows for the bi-directional exchange of data from sensors and devices.

Force Measurement is Fundamental in Material Testing

Interface load cells, multi-axis sensors, and data acquisition systems are used for material testing. Common uses of force measurement in material tests include applications to measure hardness, torsion, strength, compression, bending, shear, impact, creep, fatigue, and nondestructive capabilities. It is common to have our 1200 LowProfile load cells installed into material testing machines at test labs and onsite. We also supply a variety of miniature load cells and load pins for material testing, depending on the type of equipment and environment used for tests.

How Does Tensile Testing Work?

Interface supplies load cells for tensile testing. Tensile testing is fundamental in test and measurement. Load cells are commonly used in tension testing to measure and record the force or load applied to a specimen during the test. Tensile testing is used by researchers, testing labs, and engineers across industries including infrastructure, medical, manufacturing, aerospace, consumer goods, automotive, energy, and construction to measure stress, strain, elacity, fatigue and failure.

INTERFACE 101 SERIES ROD END

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 high-accuracy load cell.
