Cycle Testing 101

Interface 101 series highlights cycle testing, which uses load cells, torque transducers, and multi-axis sensors to evaluate functional reliability, kinematic wear, seal integrity, switch actuation life, joint loosening, and mechanical degradation across hundreds, thousands, or millions of operating cycles. Cycle testing is an evaluation methodology used to verify product endurance, track mechanical wear, and establish operational life expectancy under repetitive dynamic loading.

Tips for Properly Installing S-Type Load Cells

S-type load cell installation success hinges on protecting the sensor's gauged area from extraneous mechanical forces during setup. Interface provides installation tips, a setup video, and instructions. By ensuring that all tightening torque is applied to a single end, maintaining a minimum thread-depth engagement of one diameter, locking the threads to a shoulder or jam nut, and using high-grade hardware for loads exceeding the sensor’s capacity, you eliminate the leading causes of failure. Proper installation protects the load cell's calibration integrity, longevity, and safety across applications.
