The Advanced Series-4 Digital Force Gauges are positioned in the middle of the Mark-10 Digital Force Gauge range. With all the features of the Series-3 Force Gauges added with features from its higher positioned siblings Series-5 and Series-7, the Series-4 can be used for many applications across all industries.
Available in ranges from 0,5 to 2500 N each Series-4 Gauge supports data transfer to a PC or other data collector via USB, RS-232, Mitutoyo (Digimatic), or analog outputs.
It features a sampling rate of 3000 Hz with an accuracy of ±0,2% of full scale and can store up to 50 readings or continues data output through the included MESUR® Lite data acquisition software.
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.
All gauges except for the series-2 come with MESUR® Lite data acquisition software.
MESUR® Lite tabulates continuous or single point data. One-click export to Excel allows for further data manipulation.
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.
