What Is the Difference Between Fatigue and Impact Testing?

Interface Tech Talk details why fatigue testing and impact testing are fundamentally different mechanical test methodologies that impose separate physical and electronic demands on measurement hardware. Learn about application differences, load cell and sensor selection, and instrumentation requirements for each type of test.
Types Of Testing IMPACT

Impact Testing for Millisecond Assessments

Interface impact testing force measurement solutions are used in material, component, and product tests, from sports equipment to autos and aircraft. High-velocity impact testing demands high-velocity sensors and low-latency instrumentation to capture millisecond-long force spikes without data gaps or signal clipping. Pairing the load cell and instrument is critical for a successful impact testing system.

INTERFACE 101 SERIES SIGNAL CONDITIONERS

Signal Conditioners 101

Interface Signal Conditioners are used with a wide range of load cell and force measurement devices. Transducers convert force or weight into an electrical signal. The output signal of a load cell is typically in the form of a small electrical voltage that is proportional to the applied force. Primary features of signal conditioners include amplification, filtering, isolation, and linearization. As detailed in Signal Conditioners 101, it can perform various functions depending on the specific application and the type of signals.
