Force Gauge

Force Gauge is measuring device used across all industries to measure the force throughout a push or pull test. Applications exist in do research and development, quality, production and field surrounding. There are two type of force gauges one is mechanical and another is  digital force gauges.The digital force gauge is mostly a hand-held instrument that contains electronic part, software and a display. A load unit is an electronic device that is used to convert a force into an electrical signal. Through the mechanical arrangement, the force being detected deforms a strain gauge; this strain gauge converts the deformation (strain) to electrical signals. The software and electronics of the force gauge converts the voltage of the load unit into a force value that is displayed on the devices.Test units of force measurements are most usually newtons or pounds. The height force is that most typical lead to force testing applications. It is used to conclude if the part is good or not. They are some examples of force measurement which are door latch, quality of spring, wire testing, strength ,but most complicated tests can be performed like peeling, friction.

DIGITAL FORCE GAUGE

Advantages

-Less reading error using digital force gauge

-Connectable Computer, printer, and recorder

-Possible to use different functions

-Suitable for impact test

Disadvantages

-Hard to study transition of measuring power

-have need to charge a battery for long time use

Caution

-Please avoid oil, dust, and heat and high humidity and keep it in a cool place

-Be sure to use attached AC adapter

-Do not load specified overloading power.

-Please do not dismantle or alternate this unit

-In case remove the dirt of this unit, don't use organic solvents

MECHENICAL FORCE GAUGE

Advantages

-Can to use without power supply

-Durable

-Possible to check transition of measuring power

-Longer stroke of measure shaft

Disadvantages

-Unsuitable for impact test

-Reading error may occur by differences among users

Caution

-Please avoid oil, dust and heat and high humidity and keep it in an exceedingly  cool place

-Do not exceed ability of unit

-Please do not dismantle  or alternate this unit

-Please do not use for impact or break point test

Selection of suitable range

Please select appropriate vary of force gauge as the following technique.

When you do high speed take a look at as impact and break purpose, please choose the capacity is two hundred of percentage measuring value.

For example;

The measuring value:10N Digital force gauge:ZP/Z2 series

Then,  the ZP-20N which is double capacity of measuring value is suitable.

When you do slow speed take a look at as elongation test, please choose the capacity is one hundred and fiftieth percentages of measuring value.

For example

The measuring value:30N Digital force gauge:ZP series

Then, the  suitable capacity will be 45 N and choose ZP-50N.
