Low-cost Analogue Force Gauge, 0.5-5 kgf / 1-10 lbf, Push/Pull
Mechanical force gauges provide a basic and low-cost alternative to digital gauges for simple force measurement applications.
Tension, or compression, is indicated by a needle on a dial with a peak-hold function to lock the needle in place for taking maximum load readings.
Compact and lightweight, handheld gauges are an entry-level solution for push and pull testing in the field.
Low-cost analogue force gauges are best suited for occasional simple measurement of tension and compression, up to 30 kgf (60 lbf).
The FD series of simple hand-held, push-pull and push-only gauges provide an affordable, quick and reliable means of measuring force in tension and compression from just 100-gram force up to 30 kilogram-force. The housing of these easy-to-use gauges is made from lightweight plastic, ideal for storing in your toolkit. They come complete with a compression plate, extension rod and test hook (FD version only).
These low-cost analogue force gauges are used in a wide variety of tension and compression applications. For example, insertion testing of electronic components, testing the ripeness of fruit and testing tension belts in ATMs and vending machines.
Low-cost Analogue
The FD and DT range of low-cost mechanical force gauges measure tension and compression with a peak hold function for simple, non-critical force tests.
FD 105 Low-cost Analogue Force Gauge Ranges between 0.5 kgf - 5 kgf and 1 lbf - 10 lbf
There is a choice of six push-pull (FD gauges) or six push-only (DT gauges), ranging from 1000 g to 30 kgf depending on your testing requirements.
Each gauge is rated to an accuracy of ±2% of full scale.
Used as a handheld instrument with no need for a battery, these mechanical gauges are small and easily carried for use in a variety of simple applications and outdoor environments.
All low-cost analogue gauges are supplied with a compression plate and extension rod. The FD (push-pull) gauges also include a test hook for tension applications.
