Housing is brass.

Apply your load directly to the top of these gauges to measure compression force.

Press the side of the gauge tip against an object to record the amount of tension required to move it.

The large dial makes these gauges easy to read. They measure tension force as well as weight.

Use the included Windows-compatible software to upload measurement data.

Read tension and compression measurements with a glance—these gauges have three color-coded indicator lights to show you if a part is at your desired force. Red means the force is too high, orange means too low, and green is just right.

Safely view your tension force measurements on a handheld receiver up to 450 ft. away when moving bulk material with cranes and hoists.

Check that your products have the right balance of grip and slip. For quality control, these testers are commonly used to measure friction generated by packaging materials such as plastic film and cardboard.

Measure the force needed to carry out tasks in your facility, such as pushing carts, pulling pallet trucks, or lifting containers.

A chuck-style grip with a round opening gets a secure hold on pins.

Stress test an electrical connection to make sure it won't come apart.

Grip paper, film, and thin plastic.

Hold fine wire and filament.

Determine the approximate weight of large, bulky materials that are impractical to weigh with a floor scale. These scales are often used in loading vehicles and can be suspended from a crane, block and tackle lift, A-frame, or forklift blade.

Attach the bar handle to these scales for weighing by hand.

NTEP certified, these hanging scales are for use with materials sold by weight.

Calibrate these sensors to your desired capacity to measure tension, compression, or both. Also known as load cells, they measure and track the forces of your equipment by converting them into electrical signals.

Also known as junction and summing boxes, these hubs combine the measurements of multiple tension and compression force sensors together.

Monitor torque as you apply it—these testers mount between your torque tool and your fastener.

Measure the force of hand and non-impact electric torque screwdrivers to keep fasteners from failing due to under or overtightening.

Place your tool and the included square drive connector on the tester and turn.

Finger-tighten the three-jaw chuck onto a torque wrench or screwdriver, then twist either the gauge or tool to check the tool’s accuracy.

Check the tension of your machine’s flat, timing, or V-belt—no matter its width. These gauges use ultrasonic sound waves to take noncontact readings.
