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.
Versatile Measurement CapabilitiesWith selectable measurement units (N, kg, lb) and a wide force range (1N to 1000N, depending on model), the DFG 1D Digital Force Gauge is tailored to accommodate a variety of force measurement requirements. The large backlit LCD display ensures clarity during both tension and compression testing operations.
User-Friendly Interface & Data ManagementEasily operate and store data with up to 500 measurements retained in memory. The USB and RS232 interfaces provide straightforward data transfer for analysis and record-keeping, enhancing workflow efficiency in busy environments.
Reliable and Durable for Industrial UseBuilt to withstand demanding conditions, the DFG 1D is CE certified and encased in rugged ABS/aluminum alloy. Overload protection, Peak Hold function, and automatic power-off contribute to both device longevity and measurement reliability.
