Interface Force Measurement Solutions has partnered with Durham Instruments to distribute its advanced multi-axis load cell in Canada. The device measures forces and torques across three perpendicular axes simultaneously, offering precision for industrial and scientific applications.
Key Features and Applications
The compact, temperature-compensated load cell is available in eight models (6A27, 6A40, 6A68, 6A80, 6A110, 6A130, 6A154, and 6A225), each with six independent output channels for force and torque measurement. An optional eight-channel data-acquisition amplifier (BX8) with USB connectivity simplifies data analysis.
With capacities ranging from 50 to 500,000 newtons of force and 1 to 20,000 newton-meters of torque, the device is suited for:
- Aerospace (wind-tunnel testing)
- Medical Research (prosthetics, orthopedics, biomechanics)
- Robotics & Automation (collision detection, force control)
- Automotive & Industrial (assembly control, press force monitoring)
- Energy & Infrastructure (seismic studies, power generation)
Model-Specific Applications
6A27: Medical tools, sports medicine, wind-tunnel testing.
6A40/6A68: Prosthetics, ergonomics, collision detection.
6A80/6A110/6A130: Robotics, torque-controlled operations.
6A154: Wind-tunnel balances, high-moment applications.
6A175: Automation, press force, seismic research.
Technical Advantages
Each unit features low crosstalk and a 36-term coefficient matrix for accurate axis-specific calculations. Durham Instruments highlights its versatility across sectors like food processing, forestry, and military R&D.
This collaboration expands access to high-precision force measurement technology in Canada, supporting innovation in research and industrial automation.
