Universal Load Cells 101
Interface Universal Load Cells offer the ability to measure both tension and compression forces. They are versitile force measurement solutions used for all types of applications that need to measure force, weight and shear. Interface’s Model 1200 and 1201 Series IO-Link Universal Load Cells are pancake style load cells that are IO-Link compatible with an open standard serial communication protocol that allows for the bi-directional exchange of data from sensors and devices.

How Does Tensile Testing Work?
Interface supplies load cells for tensile testing. Tensile testing is fundamental in test and measurement. Load cells are commonly used in tension testing to measure and record the force or load applied to a specimen during the test. Tensile testing is used by researchers, testing labs, and engineers across industries including infrastructure, medical, manufacturing, aerospace, consumer goods, automotive, energy, and construction to measure stress, strain, elacity, fatigue and failure.

Interface Solutions for Structural Testing
Structural testing labs use Interface force measurment solutions to perform tensile, compression, bending, fatigue and hardness testing on materials, components, or assemblies. Structural tests are used for measuring tension of push and pull forces, design proofing, and lifecycle fatigue validation. Each of these tests plays a critical role in verifying the quality and safety of a product, component or materialss. Each of these tests relies upon high accuracy force measurement sensor technologies form Interface.

Tension Load Cells 101
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.

Why Mechanical Engineers Choose Interface Solutions
Mechanical engineers choose Interface force measurement devices to gather data, analyze performance, and ensure the safety and reliability of mechanical systems. Force measurement devices help them to quantify the magnitude and direction of forces acting on objects or structures. They play a crucial role in the design, development, and maintenance of mechanical systems that are integral to modern society and industries.
