• Its ultra-lightweight design (with carbon fiber reinforced material) reduces total weight by up to 50%.
• It has excellent resistance against water and dust (IP66 protection level) enabling you to use it in machining situations that include splashing coolant fluid.
• Direct readout of inside measurements from the LCD (you can easily set the offset value by using the offset button).
• Preset function lets you set a desired starting point.

Ensure Material Consistency with a Digital Durometer

In industries reliant on polymers, elastomers, and plastics, material hardness is a critical quality indicator. A digital durometer is the essential tool for providing fast, reliable, and quantitative hardness measurements, directly impacting product performance and durability.

Unlike analog models, a modern digital durometer eliminates human error and guesswork. It delivers precise, digital readouts on Shore scales (like Shore A, D, and O), ensuring consistent data for quality control, incoming inspection, and R&D applications.

Key Advantages of a Digital Durometer:

• Objective, Repeatable Results: Digital displays provide unambiguous readings, removing operator interpretation.

• Data Recording Capabilities: Many models feature peak hold, data output, and statistics for comprehensive quality records.

• Enhanced Accuracy: Advanced sensors and electronics ensure highly accurate measurements for reliable material hardness testing.

• Improved Efficiency: Streamline your rubber hardness testing and plastic hardness checks with intuitive operation.

What is a Mechanical Force Gauge? A Guide to Push-Pull Testing

Meta Description: Learn about mechanical force gauges for accurate push and pull force testing. Discover how they work, their key benefits, and common applications in quality control.

A mechanical force gauge is an essential tool for measuring tension and compression forces (push and pull) in pounds, kilograms, or Newtons. Unlike digital models, these instruments use a precision spring mechanism and analog dial for direct, reliable readings without needing batteries.

Key Benefits of Mechanical Force Gauges

Why choose a mechanical gauge? The advantages are clear:

• Durability and Simplicity: With no electronic components, they are robust, withstand harsh environments, and require minimal maintenance.

• No Power Required: Ready to use anytime, anywhere—no batteries or power outlets needed. This eliminates downtime.

• Cost-Effective: They typically offer a lower initial investment than digital force gauges, providing excellent value.

• Real-Time Response: The analog dial provides an immediate, easy-to-read measurement, ideal for fast-paced production lines.

Common Applications

Mechanical force gauges are vital across numerous industries for quality control and product testing. Common uses include:

• Peak Load Testing: Determining the breaking point of wires, seals, and components.

• Spring Testing: Measuring the compression and extension force of springs.

• Quality Checks: Verifying the actuation force of buttons, switches, and keyboards.

• Package Testing: Ensuring peel strength on seals and adhesives.
