MF Series Mechanical Force Gauge |
| Incredibly durable and user-friendly, our economical mechanical gauges are excellent for repetitive testing in assembly line or quality control lab applications. The peak mode features an easy push-button reset; this is especially helpful for doing repetitive testing in an assembly line or quality control lab. The real time mode allows you to see force changes as they occur.
Ergonomically designed for handheld use, both gauges may be used with the optional handle (great for loads over 15 pounds). Response time is immediate. Large, easy to read dial indicators are designed to reduce gauge parallax.
The MF gauges feature a die-cast aluminum housing. Mounts easily to test stands for even greater control of repetitive testing. Two year warranty.
Available Ranges: 2, 5, 10, 20, 30, 50, 100lbs 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 20, 30, 50Kg

FGV-X / FGE-X Digital Force Gauge |
|
Our workhorse gauge just got better! Faster, smarter, easier to use!
The 1000 series, with its fast 1000 Hz update rate, is able to capture the highest force peaks. With variable display update rate and the same superior accuracy as the DFS series, these new gauges feature unique 180 degree flip displays, permitting the user to read the display right-side up. Additional enhancements are; dual direction keypad, variable baud rate for SPC applications, selectable force direction indication, and selectable power on/off settings.
Designed to ergonomically fit in the palm of your hand, the rugged, all metal construction of the FGE-X and FGV-X permit accurate measurement and display of compression and tension forces up to 100 pounds. (up to 500 lbs using the FGE-200HX and FGE-500HX)
The FGV-X 1000 series gauges include RS-232c and analog outputs, as well as an overload output signal for gauge protection.
Available Ranges: 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100lbs.
