Shop force and torque measurement instruments for evaluating tension, compression, load and mechanical performance in manufacturing, quality-control, maintenance and laboratory applications.
Portable force gauges are commonly used for push-pull testing, component evaluation, assembly verification and product testing, while torque instruments support rotational-force measurement applications.
Force gauges measure pushing and pulling forces and are commonly used for tension and compression testing. Applications include spring testing, switch actuation, connector insertion and withdrawal, product assembly and quality-control inspection.
Torque measurement instruments evaluate rotational force in applications involving shafts, fasteners, controls and mechanical assemblies.
Important selection factors include measurement range, accuracy, resolution, supported units, peak-hold capability, mounting requirements and whether data logging or computer connectivity is required.
