Mechanical force gauge


















We all have done are experiments in school to calibrate a Force Gauge. As students we used the force of the Earth’s gravity to calibrate the force gauges in newtons. The experiments starts with hanging dissimilar masses on a force gauge and mark the position of the gauge’s thin blade on a card. By employing masses in the range of 0–100 grams, you can create a scale from 0–1 newton. Utilizing masses up to 1 kilogram, you can calibrate the gauge’s thick blade up to 10 newtons.

In the market place these force gauges come in various forms – digital and manual. In today world everything is gone digital. In the world of digital product, there are still many of us who still use manual mechanical items.  Mechanical force gauges check both compression and tension (push or pull). Standard and special attachments simply screw on to the threaded shafts to provide a variety of ways to grip test samples. Mechanical force gauges are capable of the highly accurate measurements required in quality testing to determine the strength or functionality of a part or product.
It does direct reading tension (+) and compression (-). It ranges from Units for I kgf (2 lb) to 50 kgf (100 lbs) range. Simialr to digital force gauge, it complete with hook, probes and other adaptor tips. It also has a read out in Kilograms force, Newtons.

These are convenient compact instruments economical and always ready to use.  These mechanical force gauge comes with complete a set of probe tips and extension rod. Depending upon which company mechanical force gauges, you purchase your accuracy would differ. Most companies do provide a detailed note on how much of accuracy does there product provide. 

These force gauges can be used to inspection and testing of all kinds of precision parts and mechanisms including relay contacts, and switches. They can conduct strength testing for components and assemblies such as wire harness. The force gauge can apply connection testing measure the pull out and insertion force of all kinds of connectors and fitted components.
