The M5-200 is an advanced digital force gauge for tension and compression testing with a capacity of 200 lbf (1000 N). It features a 7,000 Hz sampling rate, ±0.1% of full scale accuracy, and a backlit graphics LCD with an analog load bar. The gauge includes 1,000-point data memory, statistical calculations, and outputs via USB, RS-232, Mitutoyo, and analog ±1 VDC. Integrated set points with open-drain outputs can trigger external devices. An ergonomic, reversible aluminum housing supports handheld or test stand mounting. It operates on a rechargeable 8.4 V NiMH battery, providing up to 7 hours of continuous use with backlight on. Overload protection is rated at 200% of full scale. Dimensions and mounting thread comply with M5-200 to M5-500 specifications: 1.2 lb [0.54 kg] weight and 5/16-18M UNC thread.
Series 5 advanced 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 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. 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 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 graphical representation of applied force. The Series 5’s averaging mode addresses the need to record the average force over time, useful in applications such as peel testing, while 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.
