Low Profile Versus Simple

Low Profile Load Cells versus Simple Single Column Load Cells

May 28, 2024
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 101 STRAIN TESTING

Strain Testing 101

April 2, 2024
Interface tension and compression load cells are used for strain testing across multiple industries. Learn about strain testing, a very common in general test and measurement applications. Strain refers to the deformation or shape a material experiences due to applied stress. Load cells are used to measure how much a sample or material stretches, compresses, or shears and distorts in response to a force.
