Housing is plastic.

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

These gauges come with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST that states they've passed a test for accuracy.

Measure the tension of wire or cable.

Press the side of the gauge tip against an object to record the amount of tension required to move it.

Apply your load directly to the top of these gauges to measure compression force.

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

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

Grip paper, film, and thin plastic.

Grab and pull objects to test their strength. These hooks thread onto the shaft of your force gauge.

Good for gripping most shapes and materials.

Designed to test the pull and push force of springs, insert these testers into your quality control line right out of the box.

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

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

Attach the bar handle to these scales for weighing by hand.

A sealed aluminum housing protects from corrosion in wet environments.

Often used to weigh materials sold by weight in harsh conditions, these NTEP-approved scales have an aluminum enclosure that meets IP65 and NEMA 4 for protection from dirt and washdowns.

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.

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.

Check the tension of your machine’s flat, timing, or V-belt—no matter its width. These gauges use ultrasonic sound waves to take noncontact readings.
