Types of Load Cells 101

October 10, 2024

Interface offers thousands of load cell models based on specific form factors, capacities, and measurement capabilities. The best place to learn about standard load cells is to understand the types most frequently used in force measurement, including pancake low profiles, s-types, bending beam, canister, rod end, multi-axis and others.

Comparing Shear Versus Compaction Force Measurement

July 23, 2024

Interface load cells are used in shear and compaction force measurement. Understanding the differences between shear and compaction is determinative, as it directly impacts applications, sensor choices, and output data for testing analysis. Learn about shear force versuse compaction, also known as compressive, measurement, applications and load cell types. This understanding aids in making informed test and measurement decisions in material science, mechanical engineering, and industrial automation.

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.
