PCE-FB 20 Compression and Tension Dynamometer

dinamometer for traction and compression force measurements / internal memory / mini SD card / graphical display / threshold measurement / peak function / USB port / included software

The precision dynamometer for traction and compression measurements is available in two versions. Depending on the measurement range, the dynamometer has an internal load cell for traction and compression forces. The dynamometer for traction and compression forces is a portable force instrument that can be assembled to a test bench. For measurements exceeding 500 N, the dynamometer has an external load cell S, which comes with a three-meter long cable and can be connected to test benches. The dynamometer for traction and compression force measurements has two adjustable measurement speeds: 10 Hz or 40 Hz. This makes it very easy to perform real-time recordings of traction and compression forces. The precision dynamometer can store measurement data on a mini SD card or directly on the computer. This operation can be performed manually or automatically. Additionally, the data can be analyzed after the measurements are completed. To evaluate the traction and compression dynamometer, it offers statistical analysis on the instrument's display. Therefore, data such as measurement frequency, total force, average force, max value, min value, and individual values are used to create graphical presentations such as histograms or diagrams. Traction and compression measurements can be performed in different units with the precision dynamometer: N, g, lb, oz, kg, kgf, lbf, ozf.
