Series 2

Economical Digital Force Gauges

Series 2 digital force gauges are designed for basic tension and compression force testing applications up to 500 lbF (2,500 N). Peak tension and compression readings are reliably captured via the gauges' ±0.5% accuracy and 500 Hz sampling rate. A backlit graphic LCD displays the current, peak tension, or peak compression reading.

The gauges are overload protected to 200% of capacity. An ergonomic, reversible aluminum housing allows for hand held use or fixture mounting, rugged enough for applications in both production and laboratory environments. Series 2 gauges are directly compatible with Mark-10 test stands and grips.

  • Calculates peak tension and compression values
  • 3 selectable units of measurement
  • Ultra-compact, ergonomic housing
  • Configurable default measurement unit and mode
  • 500 Hz sampling rate
  • Large, backlit graphic display with auto-dimming
  • Powered by rechargeable battery or AC adapter
  • Reversible housing for alternate load cell orientation
