The M2-500 is a digital force gauge for tension and compression testing up to 500 lbF (2,500 N), with ±0.5% accuracy and a 500 Hz sampling rate. It features a backlit graphic LCD, USB data output at 115,200 baud, and is powered by a rechargeable 8.4V NiMH battery or AC adapter. The gauge has an ergonomic reversible aluminum housing, is overload protected to 200% of capacity, and displays "OVER" at 110% of full scale. It weighs 0.9 lb (0.41 kg) and uses a 5/16-18 UNC threaded interface. Operating conditions are 40-100°F with max 96% non-condensing humidity.
Series 2 digital force gauges are designed for basic tension and compression force testing applications up to 500 lbF (2,500 N). Peak tension and compression readings are reliably captured via the gauges' ±0.5% accuracy and 500 Hz sampling rate. A backlit graphic LCD displays the current, peak tension, or peak compression reading. The gauges are overload protected to 200% of capacity. An ergonomic, reversible aluminum housing allows for hand held use or fixture mounting, rugged enough for applications in both production and laboratory environments. Series 2 gauges are directly compatible with Mark-10 test stands and grips.
