Interface 6‑axis load cells measure forces along three perpendicular axes and the corresponding moments (torque) about those axes. 6-axis sensors are monolithic flexure instruments equipped with specialized strain-gage bridges. The design is engineered to maintain high stiffness while isolating complex loads into independent electrical signals. Standard-capacity sensors utilize six full-bridge channels, while high-capacity models may employ twelve bridges to increase structural integrity and signal resolution. 6-Axis Load Cells 101 reviews the technical performance and features of the advanced load cell used to acquire more data for complex test and measurement programs, including robotics, aerospace testing, automotive components, energy, and medical equipment designs.

Torque is the rotational force that causes an object to turn. Interface rotary torque transducers are versatile sensors that integrate electronics directly onto the rotating shaft. Engineers measure torque using torque transducers that convert a torsional mechanical input into an electrical output signal, typically a voltage or current. Rotary torque transducers are ideal for dynamic applications where continuous rotation is required, eliminating the need for complex wiring and reducing potential points of failure. They are commonly used in measuring torque for engines, gearboxes, robotics, aircraft, medical devices, tractors, and windmills. If it turns, it needs to be measured.
