Load Cell Electrical Wiring

Load Cell Electrical Components, Connectors, and Wiring Standards

Interface provides technical specifications, pinouts, and wiring documentation for load cells, torque transducers, multi-axis sensors, and instrumentation for each product. Achieving high-accuracy measurement data depends completely on the integrity of the electrical connections between the sensor and the instrumentation. Simple wiring errors or incorrect pin mapping can result in inverted data, thermal drift, or irreversible damage to components in the data acquisition system. Interface Support offers Electrical Wiring and Diagrams resources, including cable, connector, and assembly wiring colors and references.
INTERFACE TECH TALK Resistance Output Vs Rated Output

Resistance Output Versus Rated Output

Rated Output (RO) is the dynamic electrical signal that directly represents the applied mechanical force. Resistance Output is a static electrical characteristic of the load cell's internal circuitry. When you are performing force measurements, you are primarily interested in the Rated Output. This value, in conjunction with your excitation voltage, enables you to accurately convert the measured millivolt signal into engineering units of force in lbf or Newtons. Discover how load cells work at the ultimate force measurement resource hub, Interface ForceEDU.
Cables

Understanding Cable Length and Temperature Effects

Interface has several standard cable options based on the type of measurement device, the instrumentation, the pinout, type of connector and length required for the testing use case. Consideration of the cable and connectivity are important when selecting any transducer. The length of a cable and temperature can affect accuracy. Learn tips and considerations related to cable options for load cells and torque transducers. You can find a range of all standard cable assembly and connector products in Interface Accessories.

GAGES 101

Strain Gages 101

Interface defines strain gages in our 101 Series. The major difference in strain gages is the base material used in the manufacturing process. Different materials are used when a load cell needs to perform optimally in various temperatures, humidity levels, and elevations. Interface makes its strain gages to produce the most accurate and reliable precision force measurement solutions.
