load cell

Here at Interfaceforce we manufacture more than 60 different types of force transducers, load cells etc. The term load cell is also more or less a synonym for the correct name of a force transducer. Force is a directed physical quantity with a vector character; force can accelerate and also deform bodies. Through force you can do work and change the energy state of a body. The international (SI system) unit for force is: Newton for short “N”.

Choosing the right load cell must take into account the following criteria:

• Maximum force to be measured
• Static or dynamic load (fatigue strength)
• Direction of force (alternating load-tensile-compressive force)
• Smallest force to be measured (resolution)
• Influence of disturbance variables, e.g. E.g.:
  • mechanical, such as bending moments from eccentricities,
  • Transverse forces and tensions
  • Temperature conditions
  • Electrical and magnetic interference fields
  • space

Modern force measuring devices have special so-called force measuring devices that are adapted to the force and test conditions Measuring spring body, whose deformation is converted into an electrical signal using strain gauges.
A suitable load cell for your needs can often be found in our portfolio. However, since there are many factors that must be taken into account when selecting the right load cell, it may be that a load cell as a standard application is not an ideal fit. In this case, our engineers can work with you to develop a suitable load cell and tailor it exactly to your requirements. We specialize in these customer-specific requests in the area of ​​load cells.

We would be happy to help you select the force transducer that is suitable for your application, or discuss with you the possibility of configuring a load cell tailored to your project. Please contact us. T. +49.8022.271667
