Seven Terms

Seven Essential Terms in Force and Torque Measurement

Force and torque measurement rely on precise technical vocabulary. Load cell terms like side load, moment, and ultimate overload determine a sensor's accuracy, lifespan, and safety. Understanding seven terms can prevent failure, loss of testing data or protect the investments in measurement systems.
INTERFACE TECH TALK Millivolts Per Volt 2

Detailing Sensor Rated Output Millivolts Per Volt

Interface sensor specifications state rated output, expressed in millivolts per volt (mV/V), as the electrical output of a load cell, multi-axis sensor, or reaction torque transducer in mV/V of excitation at the rated load. It essentially expresses a load cell's sensitivity. RO represents the change in output voltage in millivolts of the load cell relative to a change in the excitation voltage in volts applied to it.
