Interface strain gages are fundamental to load cell technology. In forming quarter, half, or full bridges, the interconnection of strain gages in a Wheatstone bridge is a critical design choice that impacts performance, cost, and application suitability. Interface details this technical topic to answer key questions about load cell design and strain gages.

Interface offers a comprehensive range of ATEX-certified products, designed to ensure safety in hazardous locations. An ATEX (atmosphere explosive) certification is given to equipment that conforms to the requirements of the European Union's harmonized standards for equipment used in potentially explosive atmospheres. These intrinsically safe products, including amplified and non-amplified ATEX-certified load cells, load pins, load shackles, load links, instrumentation, and accessories, are your reliable devices designed for test and measurement projects and OEM components. They are also backed by IECEx and North American certifications, further validating their safety standards.
