BFG Basic Force Gauges

We no longer carry the Mecmesin BFG force gauges. Please see the following models that can be used as a replacement: Chatillon DFX Force Gauges, Shimpo FGV Force Gauges or SHIMANA Push-Pull Gauges.

The BFG series of force gauges is designed for easy operation and provides outstanding force measurement performance and reliability at an affordable price.

Available in 3 capacities from 200N to 1000N, the BFG (Basic Force Gauge) features superb accuracy of ±0.25% of full scale and a sampling rate of 1,000 times per second, making it ideally suited for a wide variety of tension/compression applications.

Constructed in a rigid yet lightweight aluminium housing, with its ergonomically attractive shape, the BFG can be used as a hand-held instrument, or alternatively it can be mounted to manual or motorised test stands to allow testing under more controlled conditions. Peak readings in tension or compression can be captured on the easy-toread LCD display with full conversion between all units of measurement. For applications requiring load to be continuously monitored, a ‘live’ display mode is provided.

Using the data-output connector and interface cable, results can be transmitted to dataloggers, PC’s and printers in RS232, Mitutoyo digimatic and analogue output formats. All models carry CE marking and are supplied in a robust carrying case with standard accessories.
