Navigating Load Cell Calibration and Repair Services
Interface details the difference between load cell calibration services and repair services. Discover how to decide between the types of services. Get tips to maximize accuracy and extend your equipment's life, considerations when selecting a service, and how to request a service today.

Key Considerations for Overload Protection in Load Cells
Overload significantly threatens the accuracy, longevity, and safety of force measurement systems. An overload occurs when the force exerted on a load cell surpasses its designated capacity limit. Discover how Interface load cells incorporate innovative features to reduce the risks associated with overloading. Interface offers a number of standard LowProfile and Mini load cells with overload protection.

The Crushing Reality of Impact Loads
Interface details the importance of understanding impact loads, which introduce a dynamic element that significantly amplifies the force experienced by the load cell. Physics are important in force measurement, understand how to protect your sensors from overload and damage from impact. Learn about impact drop testing and key considerations when choosing a sensor.

How Do You Know if Your Load Cell Needs Calibration Service or Repair?
Interface Calibration and Repair Services answers when a load cell might need repair. One sign is if the zero balance has shifted significantly since it was first installed. This could indicate that the load cell has been overloaded or damaged. Another sign is if the output varies significantly when the same load is applied. This could also indicate a mechanical issue.If you suspect that your load cell is damaged, you can perform a quick diagnostic check using an ohmmeter. This will help you determine if the bridge circuitry and zero balance are within specifications. If not, then the load cell should be sent to Interface for further evaluation and repair.
