$1,410.00

Mark-10 built the M5-200 Series 5 Digital Force Gauge with labs and industrial environments in mind. Ideal for tension and compression force testing with a capacity of up to 200 lbF (1000N). It features an ergonomic design, a large LCD, and simple menu navigation for efficiency.

Product Description

Product Description

The M5-200 Series 5 Digital Force Gauge is designed for tension and compression force testing in numerous applications across virtually every industry, with capacities from 0.12 lb to 2,000 lbF (0.5 N to 10 kN). The gauges feature an industry-leading sampling rate of 7,000 Hz, producing accurate results even for quick-action tests. Accuracy is ±0.1% of full scale, and resolution is 1/5000. A large, backlit graphics LCD displays large, legible characters, while the simple menu navigation allows for quick access to the gauges’ many features and configurable parameters. Transfer data to a PC or other data collector via USB, RS-232, Mitutoyo (Digimatic), or analog outputs.

On-board data memory for up to 1,000 readings is included, as are statistical calculations and output to a PC. Integrated set points with indicators are ideal for pass-fail testing and for triggering external devices such as an alarm, relay, or test stand. The gauges are overload protected to 200% of capacity, and an analog load bar is shown on the display for a graphical representation of an applied force.

The M5-200 averaging mode addresses the need to record the average force over time, useful in applications such as peel testing, while the external trigger mode makes switch activation testing simple and accurate. An ergonomic, reversible aluminum design allows for hand-held use or test stand mounting for more sophisticated testing requirements.

Series 5 force gauges are directly compatible with Mark-10 test stands, grips, and software.

The gauges include MESUR® Lite data acquisition software. MESUR® Lite tabulates continuous or single-point data. One-click export to Excel allows for further data manipulation.
