There is a growing trend in the miniaturization of load cellsfor applications that require smaller sizes and capacities. The popularity of ‘minis’ crosses all industries with requirements to put small load cells in designs and products, including medical devices, automotive parts, and industrial applications. Interface continues to broaden the diversification of products with a range of standard mini load cellswith capacities as low as 0.11 lbf / 0.5 N.
The Interface Mini Load Cellproduct line includes miniature beam load cells, miniature sensors, load buttons, load washers, tension force mini load cells, S-type load cells, and sealed stainless steel load cells. These products are popular for light touch or lightweight applications and testing needs, providing exceedingly accurate measurements like full-size load cells.
