Seven Terms

Seven Essential Terms in Force and Torque Measurement

Force and torque measurement rely on precise technical vocabulary. Load cell terms like side load, moment, and ultimate overload determine a sensor's accuracy, lifespan, and safety. Understanding seven terms can prevent failure, loss of testing data or protect the investments in measurement systems.

Moment Compensation Relevance for Aerospace, Robotics, and Structural Testing

Moment compensation is a fundamental engineering principle that ensures stability and accuracy by counteracting unwanted forces. Industries like aerospace, robotics, material and structural testing know precision is non-negotiable. At Interface, the moment compensation principle is a core part of our load cell design best practices, making our force measurement solutions a decisive component in some of the world's most demanding applications.

Low Profile Versus Simple

Low Profile Load Cells versus Simple Single Column Load Cells

The Interface LowProfile Load Cell, a pancake design, is dramatically better than the simple single column cell in every respect. The low profile design outperforms the single column design. The overall proprietary Interface LowProfile design is more compact, with all the components bonded to the flexure structure, making it better able to withstand the 100 million-cycle fatigue life. Our standard 1200 “Blue” LowProfile Load Cell is the most popular load cell in the market and is used in testing labs and industry applications worldwide.
INTERFACE TECH TALK Moment Compensation

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.
