Digital Force Gauges
 
DFS Series
Microprocessor-controlled, the DFS series represents a unique approach to force testing. Designed to be handheld or stand mounted, the DFS features many advanced functions typically included on gauges costing twice as much. Intelligent and versatile, these high performance gauges are easily user configured for sampling and display update rate, units of measure, baud rate, data output stream, memory type and high and low set points. Large memory capacity (100 samples) and on board statistical processing allows the DFS series to operate with or without computer control. Additionally, each gauge possesses three types of signal outputs for data collection and function analysis. One year warranty.

FGV-X / FGE-X DART Series
Our workhorse gauge just got better! Faster, smarter, easier to use!

The 1000 series, with its fast 1000 Hz update rate, is able to capture the highest force peaks. With variable display update rate and the same superior accuracy as the DFS series, these new gauges feature unique 180 degree flip displays, permitting the user to read the display right-side up. Additional enhancements are; dual direction keypad, variable baud rate for SPC applications, selectable force direction indication, and selectable power on/off settings.

Designed to ergonomically fit in the palm of your hand, the rugged, all metal construction of the FGE-X and FGV-X permit accurate measurement and display of compression and tension forces up to 100 pounds. (up to 500 lbs using the FGE-200HX and FGE-500HX)
 

The FGV-X 1000 series gauges include RS-232c and analog outputs, as well as an overload output signal for gauge protection.

DRI with Load Cells and Torque Sensors
Shimpo offers a range of pre-calibrated load cells and torque transducers that, when used with our Digital Remote Indicator, safely allow the accurate measurement of forces and torque in hard-to-reach areas.
The Digital Remote Indicator (DRI) incorporates Shimpo’s flagship DFS gauge design and features a high sampling rate of up to 1,000 hz for precise peak force and torque measurements. The DRI stores up to 100 readings plus statistics that later can be conveniently downloaded for SPC purposes. Used in conjunction with a Shimpo motorized or manual test stand, the DRI lends itself to thousands of applications and permits hands-free testing.
Shimpo’s LC remote load cells are available in capacities up to 500 pounds, enabling force testing of bulky objects. Our TC torque transducers precisely measure static torque for capacities up to 100 inch pounds. Available with 3 / 8" square drive (TS-SD) or Jacobs Chuck (TS-J). One year warranty.
Features Benefits
Accepts multiple interchangeable load cells/torque transducers Operation procedures are streamlined; enables fast set-up when changing applications or force ranges; reduces investment in gauges and/or torque transducers
Large memory capacity (100 samples plus statistics) Enables portable data collection for multi-location use
High sampling rate (1000 hz) Allows peak force and torque points to be easily captured
3 types of measuring modes: average, peak compression (clockwise torque) and peak tension (counterclockwise torque) Allows flexibility in testing procedures
Handheld operation and test stand mountable Provides readout flexibility for multiple test set-ups, applications and fixturing; enables hands-free operation
Hi and low set points Permit measurement of breakaway torque in applications such as child safety cap testing
External tare and hold control Allows hands-free gauge zeroing using keyboard or foot switch
Torque transducer may be used as tool calibrator Eliminates need for outside calibration services
Load cells and torque transducers are pre-calibrated Eliminates need for calibration of digital remote indicator
