Simple Analogue

Mechanical force gauges provide a basic and low-cost alternative to digital gauges for simple force measurement applications.

Tension, or compression, is indicated by a needle on a dial with a peak-hold function to lock the needle in place for taking maximum load readings.

All models are supplied in a portable carry case with a full set of accessories that includes:

  • chisel point
  • compression plate
  • cone point
  • extension rod
  • inverse chisel point
  • test hook

Each gauge comes with its own traceable calibration certificate.

The SL range of mechanical force gauges features five models, from 8 N to 440 N. Each has an accuracy of ±2% of full scale, with the dial graduated in both Newtons (N) and pounds (lbf).

With no need for batteries, mechanical force gauges are intrinsically safe for ‘no spark’ environments.

A compact design makes it easy to store when not in use.
