Sensors Provide Intelligence for Safe and Automated Hoisting

October 9, 2025

Integrating Interface load cells, load pins, tension load links, and load shackles into hoisting equipment provides real-time force and weight data. Measurement sensors provide accurate data for overload protection, WLL, load balancing, alarm systems, weighing, equipment monitoring, and testing. Smart hoisting and automation utilizing sensors increase safety, ensure compliance, and prevent catastrophic failure.

Tension Load Link Systems and Applications

October 2, 2025

Interface tension link load cells are specialized force sensors designed to measure tensile or "pulling" forces. Tension load links are frequently used in demanding environments, including nearshore and offshore areas, which require certifications for hazardous locations. They're designed for lifting, weighing, mooring, towing, as well as tension testing and monitoring applications, and are used in marine, aerospace, manufacturing, construction, and logistics industries.

Hazardous Locations ATEX 101

May 30, 2024

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.

The Convenience of Interface Portable Instrumentation Devices

March 26, 2024

Interface portable instrumentation devices allow measurements from load cells, torque transducers, and multi-axis sensors to be taken on-site, eliminating the need for a single testing location. Common use cases for portable devices are continuous monitoring applications. Additionally, portable instruments are user-friendly and require minimal setup, making them ideal for field applications or quick spot checks. Their compact size suits them for tight spaces or situations where benchtop instruments are impractical.
