Single-Axis Load Cells

The 1000 Fatigue rated series is a long established favourite for aerospace & automotive test rigs where a high number of repetitive cycles are required over a period of time that can stretch to several years. The warranted life of Interface 1000 series Low Profile load cells is a minimum of 100 Million fully reversed cycles at full rated load. The manufacturing process of these units involves additional measures to reduce high stress points and routing of internal components through zero stress areas to ensure the longest possible lifespan under the most demanding test conditions.

The Interface 1200 Flange Series Low Profile Load Cells represent an elite advancement in heavy-duty force measurement, explicitly engineered to simplify mounting inside high-capacity loading environments. Building upon the foundational performance of standard low-profile shear beam sensors, the Flange Series introduces a dedicated, multi-hole bolt circle outer pattern. This mechanical layout permits easy, direct attachment to actuator rods and industrial hydraulic cylinders without the severe over-tightening or cross-threading issues frequently associated with single, large central thread arrangements. They are heavily relied upon across global aerospace validation stands, automotive crash-test rails, structural fatigue test rigs, and high-capacity laboratory calibration equipment.

Constructed with at least eight proprietary foil strain gauges manufactured in-house, these sensors provide an exceptional signal-to-noise ratio alongside a warranted static performance accuracy of down to ±0.05% Full Scale (FS). By utilizing a specialized moment-compensation manufacturing profile, the 1200 Flange Series is inherently insensitive to off-axis loading, eccentric moments, and side-load variables that would cause measurement degradation in lesser transducers.

The 1200 Precision series is our standard Low Profile load cell and is a long established favourite of many users who require reliability and high performance under many high loading conditions. The design of the 1200 is inherently insensitive to off-axis loads and this is further enhanced by moment compensation that makes it ideal for applications with hydraulic, pneumatic or electric actuator loading systems. The 1200 and 1000 series products are in daily use in many aerospace and automotive test facilities throughout the world. The high calibre performance also makes the 1200 series the choice for calibration equipment and large numbers are in use as Proving Devices and Reference Standards in many calibration companies and laboratories.
