Bridge Completion Considerations
Interface's use of the Wheatstone bridge is considered world-class in load cell design and for its ability to produce accurate measurements. Selecting the right instrumentation and ensuring proper bridge completion are technical necessities for maintaining the integrity of your force measurement data. Our bridge completion solutions simplify selecting the right instrumentation device to pair with your sensor, making it easier than ever to achieve high-quality measurements.

Shunt Calibration Resistors 101
Interface shunt calibration resistors, known as RCAL Resistors, are an accessory product. A shunt calibration resistor is a resistor that is connected in parallel with a measurement instrument to provide a known resistance value. The purpose of the shunt cal resistor is to calibrate the instrument to accurately measure the current passing through it. Shunt calibration resistors are often used with load cells to improve the accuracy and reliability of their measurements.
