A Force Gauge is a measuring instrument used across all industries to measure the force or load during a push or pull test. Applications exist in research and development, laboratory, quality, production and field environment. There are two kind of force gages today: mechanical force gage (or spring scale) and digital force gage.
A digital force gauge is basically a handheld instrument that contains a load cell, electronic parts, software and a display. A load cell is an mechanical device that is used to convert a force into an electrical signal. Through a mechanical arrangement, the force being sensed deforms a strain gauge. The strain gauge converts the deformation (strain) to electrical signals. The software and electronics of the force gauge converts the voltage of the load cell into a force value that is displayed on the instrument.
Test units of force measurements are most commonly newtons or pounds. The peak force (push or pull) is the most common result in force testing applications. It is used to determine if a part is good or not. Some examples of force measurement: door latch, quality of spring, wire testing, strength, peeling ... but most complicated tests can be performed like peeling, friction, texture.
This force test equipment frequently is hand held but can also be mounted on a manual or motorized test stand. Test stands offers more accurate reading and a better repeatability (avoid alignment problems, provide a constant speed...). If it is possible always use a test stand for your force equipments. Our force instruments also offers various communication options (USB, Bluetooth, TTL, RS232...). When choosing your force gage, consider all your needs and features required. Fell free to call us before choosing your instruments, our sales engineers can help you choosing the guage which fits your working environment.
