Digital Force Gauge, 5 kN, 1100 lbf
The new FG-3000R Series digital force gauges are the choice for simple, cost-effective compression testing.
Combining one of the most compact housings, yet maintaining a large back-lit LCD, these units were designed to fit perfectly in the hand for ease of use. The integral button style load-cell attached via the flexible, metal braided cable enables readings to be taken in machinery or fixtures where other force gauge adapters are unable to reach or fit. The multi-language FG-3000s provide menu programming for the intuitive set-up of the instrument to your desired user-defined. Three modes of operation are selectable: Track mode displays live readings, Peak mode records the maximum reading sensed during the test and Pre-set mode which activates user defined high and low limit set points. The programmable limits provide a quick visual and audible indication if a test passes or fails. In addition, a comparator output enables the integration of the instrument into your quality system for repetitive testing such as on production lines.
The display graphics facilitate user comprehension and operation. An analog bar graph provides the perspective of the current reading in comparison to the full-scale range. Pass/Fail icons provide an instant response to the testing outcome while a storage symbol acknowledges when a reading is logged. A menu-selectable display orientation streamlines switching from push to pull testing for portable or test stand applications.
