This Digital Force Gauge is one of the world's smallest, rugged, economical and versatile force gauges. Its ergonomic design makes this gauge a friendly instrument to the human hand. With just the touch of a button you can measure force in any engineering units desired, i.e. lbs, kgs or N. Any force from a few oz. up to 500 lbs can be accurately measured with one of the FGV family gauges.

The FGV-HX Digital Force Gauges series offers an RS232C and an analog output port for further processing the displayed measurements. The unit's microprocessor enables it to measure forces very accurately in the "average" or "peak" mode. Its LCD display is smartly designed to inform the operator at all times of exactly what is going on. If the hanger is used or a test stand, reversing the display so that it can be read right-side-up is a cinch. Just press two buttons and the digits and units indicators reverse themselves instantly. 

To obtain accurate, repeatable results, use this force gage with the Shimpo FGS Motorized Test Stands.
