The force gauge measures both tensile and compressive forces with very high resolution. The tensile force and the compressive force are often determined in the test laboratory, for example, to determine the yield strength, the pull-off force, and the force required to actuate a push-button or switch. The force gauge is supplied with an external measuring cell. Depending on the model, the force gauge can measure up to 10,000 N / 2,248 lbs. Models for 1,000 N / 225 lbs, 2,500 N / 562 lbs and 5,000 N / 1,124 lbs are still available. Various eyelets or hooks with M10 or M12 thread can be adapted to the measuring cells, but your own devices with this thread can be mounted on the measuring cell.
