Rigging Engineers Choose Interface Measurement Solutions

June 13, 2023

Interface supports rigging engineers who design, plan, and oversee the rigging of heavy loads by providing high accuracy measurement solutions. The use of load cells to measure the weight of heavy loads, such as cranes, ships, rockets, theater equipment and machinery is on the rise. Rigging engineers use the data from load cells, load pins, load shackles, and tension links to ensure that the loads are not overloaded and that the rigging systems are properly designed for each use case. This often requires pairing the high accuracy sensor with instrumentation, and for versatility wireless telemetry systems are useful for rigging engineers.

Tension Load Cells 101

April 27, 2023

Interface tension load cell are a type of force sensor used to measure tensile forces in materials, structures, or machines. They are used to measure the maximum load that a material can support without fracture when being pulled or stretched under the applied load. With our proprietary strain gages manufactured inside the load cell sensor, it measures the deformation and converts it into an electrical signal.
