INTERFACE TECH TALK Thermal Specifications 1

How Do Thermal Specifications Influence Sensor Selection?

Interface Tech Talk details the differences between compensated and operating temperature ranges in load cell specifications. Thermal variables influence sensor accuracy, the mechanics of static deflection. Thermal gradient, material, strain gages, and repeatability are important when selecting a sensor. Only using capacity ignores the realities of the test environment. A load cell's compensated temperature range is the zone where accuracy is maintained by design. The operating temperature range is the boundary for hardware survival.

Subzero

Subzero Force Measurement to Manage the Chill Effect

Interface load cells are used in subzero testing, ranging from heavy machinery to consumer products. Load cell design, rigorous calibration, and temperature compensation are critical for thermal cycling, enabling it to transition repeatedly from extreme cold to room temperature without losing sensitivity or structural integrity. From ski equipment to wearables to energy and aerospace equipment. Interface provides load cells to use in subzero environments.

Low Profile Versus Simple

Low Profile Load Cells versus Simple Single Column Load Cells

The Interface LowProfile Load Cell, a pancake design, is dramatically better than the simple single column cell in every respect. The low profile design outperforms the single column design. The overall proprietary Interface LowProfile design is more compact, with all the components bonded to the flexure structure, making it better able to withstand the 100 million-cycle fatigue life. Our standard 1200 “Blue” LowProfile Load Cell is the most popular load cell in the market and is used in testing labs and industry applications worldwide.
