Interface Model 5200 LowProfile 3-Axis Force & Moment Load Cell
The Interface Model 5200 LowProfile 3-Axis Force & Moment Load Cell is a high-rigidity multi-component transducer explicitly engineered to measure vertical thrust loads concurrently with perpendicular bending moments. Built directly upon the industry-standard design of the 1200 Series Precision load cells, the 5200 integrates additional sensing channels to isolate off-axis force vectors. It serves as the benchmark choice across the UK for structural alignment testing, vehicle centre-of-gravity calculations, wind tunnel balancing, and materials testing setups where dynamic off-axis moments must be accurately quantified without mechanical interference.
The core architectural benefit of the Model 5200 is its multi-bridge internal matrix, which simultaneously tracks vertical thrust (Fz) alongside overturning moments around the X and Y axes (Mx and My). This comprehensive vector mapping allows research and test engineers to capture alignment telemetry and offset loading details across a single mechanical assembly. Because multi-axis configurations naturally introduce complex, uneven shear loads, the LowProfile construction provides exceptionally high torsional and shear stiffness to minimize physical deflection.
