FGP
Force Gauge

8 measuring ranges available
from 0 – 2.000 N up to 0 – 1000.0 N
Digital force gauge for determination of compression and tension forces, useable for numerous applications in a lot of sectors of industry, which need a fast measuring frequency

Compact, low cost force measuring unit with fast measuring frequency for exact acquisition of peak values

Force gauge with digital output signal for data processing with 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
  • Output signal:
    – USB
    – RS-232 (selectable baud rate)
    – analog ±1 V DC
  • Force measuring device with high sampling rate of 1000 times/s for fast acquisition of peak values
  • 3 memory modes:
    Continuous memory – permanent saving of readings and statistical values of a series of measurements
    Single memory – saving single readings and statistical values of a series of measurements
    Standard memory – Saving the statistical values of a series of measurements and the last reading
  • Force gauge FGP with user switchable units: N, gf (kgf) und ozf (lbf)
  • »Zero Set« to zero the gauge in all operating positions
  • Display can be reversed for inverted use; e. g. on vertical test stand
  • selectable display update time
