Precision force measurement products built for modern manufacturing

Interface manufacture thousands of standard force measurement products every year, with all products designed by engineering experts and rigorously tested by a tenured team of force measurement specialists.

For more than 50 years, they have identified the most common requests for force measurement solutions and made them available through an immense catalogue of devices and systems.

These are available to order through Interface’s specialized Account Engineers and global distributors.

Products include:

Interface Load Cells: More than 60 different types of load cells, in several shapes and sizes, with capacities ranging from 1 lbf (500 gf) to 2 million lbf (9,000 kN). Their team builds multiple load cell options, including specialized pancake load cell and donut load cell models, including our Low Profile and thru-hole load cells.

Interface Mini Load Cells: The minis provide accurate measurements just like the full-size load cells with proprietary alloy strain gauges, but with capacities as low as 0.11 lbf (0.5 N) and as high as 100 kN.

Load Buttons: Interface provide compression and precision-based load buttons in assorted sizes and capacities, including proprietary miniature and subminiature load cells. Load Buttons are unique inline and Low Profile designs with strong resistance and durability for efficient accuracy measurement requirements for small spaces and high-frequency utilization.

AxialTQ: The next generation in torque measurement devices, AxialTQ redefines the category in terms of function, accuracy and customizable compatibility. The rotor sensing element and electronics to meet are offered in 8 torque capacities in 5 DIN sizes. There are 3 accuracy classes: EX, LX and HX. The flexible capability of stator and output module mounting offers an infinite number of configurations.

Wireless Telemetry System (WTS): Interface’s WTS includes sensor transmitters, receivers, displays, accessories and free monitoring software, which operates on a standard 2.4 GHz signal making it FCC compliant. WTS works with torque transducers, load pins, load cells, multi-axis sensors and other inputs. It wirelessly communicates with various receivers including displays, handheld readers, analogue outputs, relay modules and computer interfaces for easy configuration of the application.

Torque Transducers: Interface produce more than 50 types of reaction torque transducers and rotary torque transducers. They are precision-machined and use our proprietary torque sensors for the most accurate data possible.

Multi-Axis Sensors: The 3-axis, 6-axis and axial torsion load cells maximize torque measurement applications. The multi-axis sensors measure forces simultaneously in three mutually perpendicular axes and the 6-axis load cells measure torque around those axes.

Load Pins, Tension Links and Shackles: Interface load pins and tension links enable accurate force measurement readings, with load pins ranging in capacities 220 lbf to 3 million lbf. The tension links are designed for lifting and weighing applications in harsh environments with capacities from 11K lbf to 220.4K lbf. The standard shackles in varied sizes provide a highly accurate measurement of lightweight products.

Calibration Systems: Interface Load Cell Calibration Systems are available for a wide range of rigid and portable force measurement applications, including custom designs. The GS-SYS Gold Standard Calibration System consists of a four-post rigid load frame, proprietary load feedback loop, signal conditioning hardware and fully-automated calibration software for the highest accuracy and lowest uncertainty available. Portable versions of the GS-SYS system are also available for calibrating load cells and test equipment.

Instrumentation: Interface provide a robust selection of instrumentation products including signal conditioners, output modules, high-speed data loggers, portable load cell indicators, weight indicators and junction boxes. They also offer full data acquisition and wireless telemetry systems and multi-channel bridge.
