Elasticity 101

Elasticity 101

Interface's Elasticity 101 details the importance of Hooke's Law of Physics. In a load cell, we want a material with a very predictable stiffness. If the material permanently deforms or creeps, the deformation value won't return to zero, and your measurements will be inaccurate. A load cell is essentially a mechanical transducer that converts mechanical force into elastic potential energy, which we then capture as data. Understanding how your sensor bends is the first step toward mastering precision force measurement. Learn more in Interface's ForceEDU 101 Series.

INTERFACE TECH TALK Overload Detection

How Does Load Cell Overload Detection Work?

Load cell overload occurs when the force applied to a load cell exceeds its rated capacity. Load cells are designed to operate within specific load limits. Overload detection is essential to protect these costly and sensitive devices from damage and ensure the longevity and reliability of the sensors. Without proper overload protection, these sensors can be compromised, leading to inaccurate readings or permanent damage.
