Force and Weight Measuring

Tension and Compression Force Gauges

Check how much force a part can take before it bends, stretches, or breaks.

Tension and Compression Digital Force Gauges

Use the included Windows-compatible software to upload measurement data.

High-Accuracy Tension and
Compression Digital Force Gauges

Take tension and compression measurements at 0.1% accuracy—the highest accuracy of all our force gauges.

Go/No-Go Tension and Compression Force Gauges

Read tension and compression measurements with a glance—these gauges have three color-coded indicator lights to show you if a part is at your desired force. Red means the force is too high, orange means too low, and green is just right.

Large-Capacity Digital Tension
Force Gauges with Scale

Measure tension force as well as weight. Also known as dynamometers.

Remote-Reading Tension Force Gauges

Safely view your tension force measurements on a handheld receiver up to 450 ft. away when moving bulk material with cranes and hoists.

Puncture Testers

Often used on packaging films, food seals, and gloves, these tools test the puncture strength of thin materials.

Ergonomics Testers

Measure the force needed to carry out tasks in your facility, such as pushing carts, pulling pallet trucks, or lifting containers.

Peel Testers

Calculate how hard it is to peel tape off a surface, separate the layers within a laminate, or unfasten a hook and loop.

Wire Crimp Pull Testers

Stress test an electrical connection to make sure it won't come apart.

Ready-to-Use Tension and
Compression Force Sensor Kits

With a sensor that’s already calibrated and everything you need to relay data, these kits come ready to operate. Use them to measure forces in equipment and send the data directly to a computer or PLC to monitor, document, and trigger actions in machinery.

Configurable Tension and
Compression Force Sensors

Calibrate these sensors to your desired capacity to measure tension, compression, or both. Also known as load cells, they measure and track the forces of your equipment by converting them into electrical signals.

Compression Force Sensors for Tight Spaces

Thinner than a credit card, these force sensors fit into narrow spaces to measure the applied load between two surfaces.
