Applications:
Force gauges are useful in any application where force measurement is important. It can be a push or pull force, as our meters can measure both, and display in common units. Majorly useful in electronics, building hardware, textile, auto parts, ignition device such as lighter, fire fighting equipment, pen manufacturing, lock manufacturing, fishing gear, chemical, power machinery, scientific research institutions and many other industries and consumer applications.
Measuring Principle:
Force gauges use force sensor, or load cells, which converts mechanical force to electrical signal to measure the force applied. The applied force can be a push or pull, tensile or compressive strain, which outputs the relevant electric signal, to estimate force.

Its robust design, overload protection (150% F.S.), and stainless steel sensor guarantee durability and performance in demanding environments.
User-Centric DesignFeaturing a large, easy-to-read LCD display and ergonomic ABS case, the DFG 100D is suitable for both handheld operations and fixture mounting. Its intuitive interface and USB connectivity simplify data transfer and configuration, making it ideal for frequent and precise force measurement tasks.
FAQ's of DFG 100D Digital Force Gauge:
Q: How do I calibrate the DFG 100D Digital Force Gauge?
A: The DFG 100D offers both automatic and manual calibration modes. To perform calibration, follow the instructions in the user manual, connect the required calibration weights, and use the menu interface to initiate the chosen calibration procedure.
Q: What is the main benefit of the peak hold function on this gauge?
A: The peak hold function captures and displays the highest force value measured during testing, enabling users to identify maximum loads and ensure quality control during tension or compression tests.
Q: When should I use the fixture mount rather than handheld operation?
A: Fixture mounting is recommended when you require stable, repeatable measurements or need both hands free, especially in industrial or laboratory settings where consistency is crucial.
Q: What happens if the measured force exceeds the gauge's capacity?
A: The DFG 100D features overload protection up to 150% of full scale. If the applied force exceeds this threshold, the device activates its protection measures to prevent sensor or system damage.
Q: How do I access and export stored measurement data from the device?
A: Stored readings (up to 1000) can be accessed and exported to a PC via the USB data output port. Use the supplied USB cable and follow the software instructions for data download and documentation.
Q: Where can I use the DFG 100D Digital Force Gauge effectively?
A: This force gauge is suitable for use in production, quality inspection, laboratory research, and field operations where accurate tension and compression measurements are essential.
