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.
