S Type Load Cell Installations 1

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.
Human Haptics

Engineering the Human Touch by Measuring Haptics

Using high-accuracy load cells enables designers to measure these haptic interactions during prototyping, ensuring the final product mimics the weight, snap, and texture of the real world. Interface provides measurement sensors and high-speed instrumentation needed to capture these micro-interactions and turn them into usable haptic data.

The In-Line Advantage of S-Type Load Cells

Interface S-Type load cells are the preferred choice for in-line force measurement. The miniaturized high-accuracy load cell is easy to integrate due to the compact footprint of the sensor design. Learn the technical details of it's patented unitary construction, flexure zones, and key specifications like static error band and natural frequency ideal for machines, OEMs, automotive, aerospace, medical, and robotic applications.
INTERFACE TECH TALK Overload Detection

How Does Load Cell Overload Detection Work?

Load cell overload occurs when the force applied to a load cell exceeds its rated capacity. Load cells are designed to operate within specific load limits. Overload detection is essential to protect these costly and sensitive devices from damage and ensure the longevity and reliability of the sensors. Without proper overload protection, these sensors can be compromised, leading to inaccurate readings or permanent damage.
