The M4-500 is a digital force gauge for tension and compression testing with a capacity of 500 lbf (2500 N). It features a 3,000 Hz sampling rate, ±0.2% of full scale accuracy, and a large backlit LCD display with an analog load bar. The gauge includes 50-point data memory, statistical calculations, programmable set points with open-drain outputs, and support for USB, RS-232, Mitutoyo, and analog outputs. It is overload protected to 200% of capacity, has a reversible aluminum housing for handheld or stand-mounted use, and operates on a rechargeable 8.4V NiMH battery with up to 7 hours of runtime with backlight on. Weight is 1.2 lb (0.54 kg), and it includes MESUR® Lite software, an AC adapter, USB cable, battery, calibration certificate, and accessories. The housing has a 5/16-18 UNC thread mount.
Series 4 digital force gauges are designed for tension and compression force testing in numerous applications across virtually every industry, with capacities from 0.12 lb to 500 lb (0.5 N to 2500 N). The gauges feature a sampling rate of 3,000 Hz, producing accurate results under a wide range of test conditions. Accuracy is ±0.2% of full scale, and resolution is 1/2000. 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. Data can be transferred to a PC or other data collector via USB, RS-232, Mitutoyo (Digimatic), or analog outputs. On-board data memory for up to 50 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 graphical representation of applied force. An ergonomic, reversible aluminum design allows for hand held use or test stand mounting for more sophisticated testing requirements. Series 4 digital 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.
