Chisel Head Adapter, M10 Thread, for FGE-HX and FGV-HX Force Gauges

The Shimpo Steel Head Adapter is an accessory for Shimpo FGE-HX and FGV-HX force gauges that fits onto the sensor of the gauge. The attachment has an M10 thread and it is made of stainless steel, which resists corrosion and wear.

The adapter is available with a choice of flat, pointed, notched, and chisel head styles, for testing on samples with a variety of shapes and sizes.

Force gauges, also called push-pull gauges or tension gauges, measure the tensile (pull) or compression (push) force applied to an object. They are used to test the strength and functionality of a variety of machines, electronic components, cables, wires, and consumer products in scientific, medical, automotive, quality assurance, and manufacturing applications. A digital force gauge shows the amount of force in digits on the gauge's display. Response time varies among digital force gauges depending on the speed of the processor. An analog (or mechanical) force gauge shows measurements on a calibrated dial. Analog force gauges are not as precise as digital force gauges, but they provide instantaneous measurements and can be used in a wider range of environmental conditions than digital force gauges. Hooks, compression plates, levers, handles, test stands, and other accessories can be used with the gauge for taking measurements on objects with a range of shapes and sizes.
