Housing is plastic.

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

Measure the tension of wire or cable.

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

Measure the tension of wire and filament without pausing your operation.

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.

Grip paper, film, and thin plastic.

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

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.

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

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

Already calibrated, these sensors are ready to use right out of the box.

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.

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.
