LOAD CELLS MULTI-AXIS

Interface is one of the UK’s leading industrial distributors of multi-axis load cells, force plates, and force and torque sensors. 

For many years, we have been working with Interface and AMTI, keeping up with changing demands to produce sensors that can simultaneously measure force in multiple directions or simultaneously measure force and torque increase substantially.

These multi-axis devices, making multiple force and torque measurements at the same time, have proved invaluable in applications including:

  • Wind tunnel testing
  • Tow tank and renewable wave energy applications
  • Control or “joystick” testing
  • Landing gear drop testing.

Interface supplies 2, 3 and 6 axis devices in a wide range of capacities, starting from just 50 newtons /1 newton-meters, from both AMTI and Interface.

Many of our 3 and 6 axis devices can be used in submersible versions for wave and tow tank applications.

Multi-channel output transducers can be connected to your own data collection equipment, or we can supply your choice of multi-axis device with a suitable multi-channel signal amplifier via analogue or digital outputs and data logging software for a complete “out of the box” solution.
