In many industrial and R&D scenarios, we not only need to know how heavy an object is, but also care more about how much force it is subjected to. At this time, the force gauge has become an indispensable measuring tool. This article will guide you through what a force gauge is, its working principle, common applications, and key points for selection.

Force gauges are universal measuring instruments used in almost all industries. As the name suggests, force gauges are used to measure force in push or pull tests. Force gauges have applications in research and development, production and quality laboratory environments. There are generally two main types of force gauges: mechanical force gauge and digital force gauge. Now, ATO automation will introduce you to the detailed use of a force gauge.

Digital force gauges are widely used in various industries such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, packaging, automobiles, electrics, electronics, and machinery. It is an indispensable force measuring tool in product manufacturing, quality management, research and development. The digital dynamometer is based on the traditional mechanical dynamometer structure that uses knives, knife bearings, and levers as the measurement structure and is displayed by mechanical transmission. It is reformed to use sensors to convert electrical signals into electrical signals for measurement and display, so as to achieve the purpose of force measuring instruments. In structure, there are only a small number of mechanical parts in the detection part and others are composed of electronic devices. Therefore, the digital force gauge is an integrated instrument and equipment with the force-electric sensor as the core and the electrical signal measurement and display as the main body.

A dynamometer is a mechanical measuring instrument used to measure thrust memory pull tests. Utilize the elasticity of metal to make marked scales to measure the size of the force. The dynamometer can be used for push-pull load testing in industries such as electronic appliances, light industry textiles, architectural hardware, lighters and ignition devices, fire-fighting equipment, pens, locks, fishing gear, power machinery, scientific research institutions, etc.
