Description
Series 2 digital force gauges for basic tension and compression force testing, this gauge will capture peak tension and compression.
The gauges are overload protected to 200% of capacity. An ergonomic, reversible aluminum housing allows for hand held use or fixture mounting, rugged enough for applications in both production and laboratory environments. Series 2 gauges are directly compatible with Mark-10 test stands and grips.
