High Capacity Column Load Cell Tech

High-Capacity Column Load Cell Technology

Interface high-capacity column load cells have a canister design and are used for industrial, aerospace, infrastructure, and ruggedized testing environments. To address specific high-capacity requirements, Interface provides specialized column architectures ranging from calibration standards to redundant-bridge industrial models. Capacities range from 100,000 to 1,000,000 pounds of force. It is the choice for the primary choice for extreme-scale engineering. The technical appeal of the canister design lies in its construction.
THRUST STANDS

Thrust Stands in Aerospace Test and Measurement

Thrust stands are testing rigs built to measure propulsion output and efficiency of aerospace industry launches of rockets, aircraft, drones, and UAVs. Using Interface high-capacity load cells, the goal is to map the thrust curve and verify engine specifications against design requirements. Unlike the distributed loads encountered in structural testing, a thrust rig handles a concentrated axial force.

Fatigue Life Prediction

Fundamentals of Fatigue Life Prediction

Interface load cells accurately quantify the forces applied during fatigue testing for predicting failure. Fatigue refers to the weakening of material caused by repeatedly applied loads. Failure occurs after a certain number of cycles, even when the stresses are well below the material's ultimate tensile strength. While an accurate prediction of fatigue life is not a reality, theoretical analysis and empirical data allow for useful approximations to estimate the margin of safety for a given design.
