The force gauge Centor First is a simple and yet complete digital force gauge which uses efficient technology to simplify force measurements, in tension and compression. A big display shows the force measured in tension or compression in the unit selected by the operator: newtons, kilograms or pounds. The bar graph completes the measurement. It can be used on a test stand (manual or motorized) or as a manual force gauge.
The three keys make it very easy to use this force gauge and access the essential functions: measurement of the peak tension or compression value, resetting to zero, and changing the measuring units. It is an ideal tool for basic tests during production. Its metal casing, protected by an elastomer hull, gives it exceptional strength.
The internal sensor stands up to an overload of 200 % of its maximum capacity. Simple, accurate, robust, supplied with its own carrying case, mains adaptor and certificate of calibration, ready for use, it is the basic force gauge for push and pull measurements.
