What is Moment Compensation?

/in

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.
