  • Digital Force Gauges (DFS II, DFE II, DFX II Series): These gauges offer various capacities and communication options, with features like peak capture and multilingual displays.
  • Motorized and Mechanical Test Stands (LTCM, MT Series): Suitable for production environments, these stands provide adjustable limits and remote control options.
Applications
The instruments are versatile, applicable in medical device manufacturing, packaging, food texture analysis, and component testing, ensuring product reliability and compliance with standards.
Specifications and Features
Each product series includes detailed specifications such as:
  • Accuracy levels and overload capacities.
  • Data sampling and peak capture rates.
  • Operating temperature ranges.
  • Optional accessories like grips, fixtures, and adapters.
Pneumatic Test Stands - TT Series
The TT Series is designed for measuring the breaking strength of electrical components, operating with clean, dry air at a maximum pressure of 160 psig (11.2 bar) and meeting MIL-T-7928 (ASG) requirements. It includes models with foot or hand-actuated switches, a load capacity of 550 lbf (2500N), and a crosshead speed of 0.1/min to 6/min.
Mechanical Force Gauges - LG and DG Series
The LG Series is for low capacity force testing, while the DG Series is for high capacity applications up to 500 lbf (2.5 kN). Both feature a large dial indicator and peak load button, with accuracy of ±0.5% of full scale and overload capacity of 110% of rated capacity.
Ergonomic Force Gauges
Used for job task analysis and muscle strength evaluation, these gauges are available in kits like the K-DMG-200/500 and MSCK-Travel, compatible with LG, DG, and DF II Series, and designed for portability.
Hydraulic Force Gauges
These gauges offer a cost-effective solution for general force measurements, suitable for hazardous environments and rough conditions.
Communication and Data Analysis Software - NEXYGEN DF
This software integrates with digital force gauges, providing graphical and tabular result displays, pre and post-test analysis, and data export capabilities, supporting mathematical calculations and statistical analysis.
Grips and Fixtures
Various grips and fixtures are available for different testing applications, including Jacobs Chucks, compression platens, and wedge action grips, each with specific sample size capacities and thread specifications.
Specifications
The document details adapters and connectors for force measurement equipment, including Female Eye End Adapters, Male Eye Adapters, Grip Pins, and Knurl Nuts, designed for specific thread sizes.
Procedures
Connection diagrams for different force ranges are provided, emphasizing the importance of not exceeding adapter weight limits.
Recommendations
Users are advised to connect grips directly to the gauge or use appropriate adapters, ensuring secure connections with correct thread sizes and locking mechanisms.
