ZTA
Force Gauge

10 measuring ranges available
from 0 – 2 N up to 0 – 5000 N
Digital force gauge for determination of compression and tension forces, usable for numerous applications in a lot of sectors of industry, which need a fast measuring frequency

High quality unit with interface (RS-232, USB and analog) and memory This force measuring unit has a fast measuring frequency for exact acquisition of peak values

Force gauge with digital output signal for data processing with a PC

Special Features

  • 2 operation modes:
    real time – display the actual tension or compression force
    peak force – to measure the peak force during a test
  • Force gauge ZTA with extremely high sampling rate of 2000 times/sec for fast acquisition of peak values
  • Display update time 16 times/sec
  • Easy to read display (OLED)
  • The header and footer of the display can be customized, as well as switched on and off
  • Programmable high/low set-points for go/no-go testing:
    with color-coded LED display: underrun (-NG) – good (OK) – exceeding (+NG) and relay outputs
  • Storage of 1000 values, which can be recalled:
    – on the display
    – data transfer to a PC
    – for printing with report
  • Output signal:
    – RS-232 for connecting to a PC
    – USB
    – analog ±2 V DC
  • Display of Force gauge ZTA can be reversed for inverted use; e. g. on vertical test stand
  • »Zero Set« to zero the gauge in all operating positions
  • Alarm indication in display and output signal in case of overload for test stands of series MX, MX2 and EMX
