Digital Force Tester Gauge Meter

economical FORCE GAUGEs SERIES MG

The Series MG Digital Force Gauge is an economical solution for push and pull testing of up to 500 lb. A rugged reversible aluminum housing allows for hand-held use or test stand mounting. Three pushbuttons allow the user to easily select units of measurement, reset zero, and recall tensile and compressive peak loads. Use the MG with a test stand and gripping fixtures to create a complete testing solution.

Compatible with all Mark-10 test stands and grips.

Motorized Test Stand

The ESM Motorized Force Measurement Test Stand is a versatile and precise testing solution for most compression and tensile testing applications up to 200 lb. It can accept a wide variety of sample shapes and sizes and can be configured in many positions due to modular design.

Speed is adjustable in up and down directions and a remote control unit provides added safety during testing. Other features include a manual fine adjustment knob and a stepper motor that prevents speed variation with load, making testing precise and repeatable. Use this test stand with any Mark-10 force gauge and grips to create a complete testing solution.
