Force-Displacement Measurement Unit FSA series-1

Force-displacement measuring unit FSA series The Force-Displacement Measurement Unit FSA series comprises all the tools necessary for conducting force-displacement measurements, including a digital force gauge, a test stand with a linear scale installed, and graphing software. A highspeed sampling rate of 2000 Hz enables accurate force measurements, resulting in highly reproducible force-displacement graphs. By combining it with the included standard or optional attachments (sold separately), various force measurements, such as tensile force, compressive force, and peel force, can be achieved. The detachable force gauge is suitable for various handheld measurements and is particularly advantageous for calibration and repair processes, as it can be managed independently.
