Series 5 advanced digital force gauges are designed for tension and compression force testing in numerous applications across virtually every industry with capacities from 0.12lb to 500lb. The gauges feature an industry-leading peak sampling rate of 7,000Hz, producing accurate results even for quick tests. Accuracy is plus or minus 0.1 of full scale digit, and reolution is 1/5000. A large, backlit graphics LCD displays large, legible characters, while the simple menu navigation allows for quick access to the guages' 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 1000 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 guages are overload protected to 150% of capacity, and an analog load bar is shown on the display for graphical representation of applied force.

The Series 5 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 helds use or test stand mounting for more sophisticated testing requirements. Series 5 force gauges are directly compatible with Mark-10 test stand, grips and software.
