Gauge has data transfer capability

The CFG+ from Mecmesin is a low cost digital force gauge designed for simple tension and compression tests. Based on the company's Compact force gauge model, the CFG+ retains the lightweight plastic housing, accuracy of 0.5% of full scale, display of peak hold in tension and compression, and tests in a range of measurement units, including N, mN, lbf, ozf, kgf and gf.

The addition of an RS232 port enables easy transmission of data from the gauge to a peripheral device, such as a PC for storing and evaluating the results further.

The device ensures quick, easy force application tests in the field and can also be mounted to a test stand for in-house testing of noncritical applications. It is available in three capacities - 50, 200 and 500N and comes with a set of accessories to facilitate immediate testing.
