FUTEK’s high-precision S-Beam and Miniature Load Cells are ideal for adhesion force measurement applications. Integrated into test stands, peel testers, or custom fixtures. They provide real-time, accurate force readings in both tension and compression modes.
Key advantages of using FUTEK load cells for adhesion testing:
- High Accuracy – Ensures reliable, repeatable results.
- Wide Capacity Range – Suitable for delicate micro-scale adhesion tests or heavy industrial applications.
- Compact Form Factors – Perfect for integration into small or automated testing rigs.
- Digital Output Options – Models like the LSB206 Miniature Digital S-Beam Jr. Load Cell offer direct SPI/UART output. Therefore, seamless integration into data acquisition systems.
Typical Adhesion Force Measurement Setup
- Test Sample Preparation – Bonded materials or components are mounted in a fixture.
- Load Application – A controlled pulling or peeling motion is applied to separate the surfaces.
- Force Measurement – The load cell captures the peak force required to break the bond.
- Data Recording & Analysis – Force values are transmitted to a data acquisition system or software for reporting and quality documentation.
Industries That Benefit from Adhesion Testing
- Electronics & Semiconductor – Ensuring solder joints, adhesive-mounted components, and coatings remain secure.
- Medical Devices – Validating adhesion of labels, coatings, or bonding in life-critical equipment.
- Packaging – Testing seals, labels, and adhesive closures for durability in transport.
- Automotive & Aerospace – Verifying the strength of bonded panels, trim, and protective films.
