ADVANCED FORCE GAUGES SERIES 5

Description

Mark-10 force and torque gauges measure real time and peak load values, with data output capabilities for further analysis. Gauges can be handheld, bench-mounted, or integrated with a Mark-10 test stand. Available in a broad range of load capacities, with intuitive interfaces and an impressive set of functions, Mark-10 gauges are at the heart of measuring systems in virtually every industry.

Force capacities from 50 gF to 1000 lbF (0.5 N to 5 kN)

• Torque capacities from 10 ozFin to 100 lbFin (7 Ncm to 11.5 Nm)
• Handheld or test stand mounting
• Selectable units of measurement
• Data outputs available (USB, RS-232, Mitutoyo, analog)
• Pass / fail limit indicators and outputs
• Data storage and statistical calculations available
• Averaging mode available, for average load over time
• External trigger feature available for switch contact testing
• Full serial command set for PC / PLC external control

Series 5 advanced digital force gauges are designed for tension and compression force testing in numerous applications across virtually every industry, with capacities from 0.12 lb to 2,000 lbF (0.5 N to 10 kN). The gauges feature an industry-leading sampling rate of 7,000 Hz, producing accurate results even for quick-action tests. Accuracy is ±0.1% of full scale, and resolution is 1/5000. A large, backlit graphics LCD displays large, legible characters, while the simple menu navigation allows for quick access to the gauges’ many features and configurable parameters. Data can be transferred to a PC or other data collector via USB, RS-232, Mitutoyo (Digimatic), or analog outputs.

On-board data memory for up to 1,000 readings is included, as are statistical calculations and output to a PC. Integrated set points with indicators are ideal for pass-fail testing and for triggering external devices such as an alarm, relay, or test stand. The gauges are overload protected to 200% of capacity, and an analog load bar is shown on the display for graphical representation of applied force.

The Series 5’s averaging mode addresses the need to record the average force over time, useful in applications such as peel testing, while external trigger mode makes switch activation testing simple and accurate. An ergonomic, reversible aluminum design allows for hand held use or test stand mounting for more sophisticated testing requirements.

Series 5 force gauges are directly compatible with Mark-10 test stands, grips, and software.

The gauges include MESUR^® Lite data acquisition software. MESUR^® Lite tabulates continuous or single point data. One-click export to Excel allows for further data manipulation.
