The force gauge consists of a handheld measuring device and an external torque transducer. The force gauge is connected to the hand-held device via a 1.5 m / 4.9 ft long cable and thus enables installation in a test stand or direct assembly on a test bench.

The force gauge is delivered adjusted so that the control measurements can be started immediately. A calibration certificate is optionally available for the force gauge. This certificate is a target / actual comparison on a traceable reference standard and thus serves as proof of the measurement accuracy. The measurement uncertainty of the force gauge is only 0.5% of the measuring range. The force gauge is therefore used as a reference device for testing and adjusting static torque tools. A screw latch is essential for dynamic torques.

The force gauge has a 1/2" square socket and can perform the torsion measurements in both directions of rotation. With a sampling rate of 1600 Hz, the force gauge reliably detects the first and the maximum torsional moment peak (PEAK). The release moment (" click ") is shown separately in the display and can be deleted either manually or automatically after a set time has elapsed. Thanks to freely adjustable alarm values, the force gauge can warn the tester of overload of the torque tool if it does not trigger itself. For a more detailed analysis of the torsional forces, the PC software included in the scope of delivery can be used.
