Are Load Cells Used in Vacuum Environments?

/in

Interface provides load cells thare can be used in a vacuum environment. However, not all load cells are created equal or suited for this specialized use case. Vacuum testing labs are used by a variety of industries, including aerospace, medical, and defense. These labs are common for material process testing and used in R&D. Vacuum testing helps to identify potential problems with products and materials before they are used in a vacuum environment. Using quality load cells that are manufactured by force measurement experts in sensor technologies and experienced in working with vacuum testing labs and experts is an important consideration.

Why Is Load Cell Zero Balance Important to Accuracy?

/in

Load cell zero balance is the signal of the load cell in the no-load condition. It is defined as the output signal of the load cell with rated excitation and no load applied. It refers to the amount of deviation in output between true zero and an actual load cell with zero load. It is usually expressed in the percentage of rated output (%RO). Zero balance is a test that can be done to understand calibration on a load cell.

What is Static Error Band Output?

/in

Interface Tech Talk answers the question of what is static error band output. SEB is a band encompassing all points on the ascending and descending curves centered on the best-fit straight line. It is expressed in units of %FS. SEB Output at capacity is based on the best fit straight line. Learn how to calculate SEB, the benefits, and an engineering perspective on why SEB output is preferred over terminal output.
