Force measurement

CENTOR DUAL

Two sensors force gauge

Thanks to its ability to read two sensors simultaneously with a sampling rate of 1 000 Hertz, the CENTOR Dual is a real test console. It has all the functions of an STAR force gauge, but its calculation power enables it to record values sent by 2 different sensors simultaneously, monitor set points and make a calculation on each channel.

It can also show an F1/F2 graph or a Force/Displacement graph on its display, because it is also able to read potentiometric rulers and incremental encoders.

It provides the simplest, most modular and most versatile system for dealing with the most wide-ranging and varied tests in the workshop or in the laboratory.
