Check how much force a part can take before it bends, stretches, or breaks.

Housing is brass.

These gauges come with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST that states they've passed a test for accuracy.

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.

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

Take tension and compression measurements at 0.1% accuracy—the highest accuracy of all our force gauges.

Measure tension force as well as weight. Also known as dynamometers.

Designed to test the pull and push force of springs, insert these testers into your quality control line right out of the box.

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.

Often used on packaging films, food seals, and gloves, these tools test the puncture strength of thin materials.

Good for gripping most shapes and materials.

Determine if an adhesive or an epoxy creates a strong enough bond on a surface.

Measure the compressive strength of concrete. These testers are often used in the construction industry to assess the quality and integrity of poured concrete.

Suspend items from the bottom hook and read their weights on the classic dial face.

A sealed aluminum housing protects from corrosion in wet environments.

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.

With a sensor that’s already calibrated and everything you need to relay data, these kits come ready to operate. Use them to measure forces in equipment and send the data directly to a computer or PLC to monitor, document, and trigger actions in machinery.

Use these gauges with changeable sensors and square-drive sockets to display, collect, and download torque readings.

Calibrate torque-limiting power tools such as air-powered and impact drivers.

Measure the twisting force needed to tighten or loosen caps and knobs with these torque testers.

Accurate to within ±1%, these torque testers are often used to check the accuracy of torque wrenches and screwdrivers on assembly lines.

Keep an eye on belt tension to minimize vibration, noise, and slippage.
