INTERFACE 101 SERIES LOAD CELL STIFFNESS

Load Cell Stiffness 101

March 30, 2023
The selection of a load cell with an appropriate stiffness is critical to ensuring optimal performance in each application and should be carefully considered in the design and implementation of any measurement system. Load cell stiffness can significantly alter the performance. Load cell stiffness refers to the ability of a load cell to resist deformation when a load is applied to it.
