The Economical Series-2 Digital Force Gauges are developed as an entry gauge for basic force testing applications.
With its accuracy of ±0,5% and a 500Hz sampling rate and peak readings this device captures reliable readings for applications in both production and laboratory environments.
The compact Series-2 Digital Force Gauge comes in 8 force versions ranging from 10 to 2500N.
It features a backlit graphic display comes in an aluminum reversible housing and can be used as hand held or fixture mounted device.
Series-2 Force Gauges are compatible with a wide range of test stands and gripping fixtures.
The Digital Mark-10 Series Force Gauge range is available in a variation of 5 gauges with each gauge type available in a scale of force ranges.
Each type of gauge has its own specifications, the table below shows the main specifications of each gauge type.
All gauges types are equipped with a rechargeable battery, a back lit display and reversible aluminum housing.
The Series-# Digital Force Gauges are designed to be used for measuring tension and compression forces.
Mark-10 Digital Force Gauges are versatile instruments, in general they are combined with additional equipment to a purposely build system to perform the required tasks.
We are happy to assist you in finding the most suitable configuration for your needs. Please contact us for more information.
