Lutron FG-5000A Digital Force Gauge - 5kg Tension & Compression Meter with RS-232
Detailed Product Description:
Overview and Capabilities:
The Lutron FG-5000A Force Gauge is a high-quality, professional measuring instrument designed for precise measurement of force during push (compression) and pull (tension) tests. Built with a microprocessor circuit and an exclusive load cell transducer, this gauge ensures high accuracy, repeatability, and resolution for reliable results. It offers a wide capacity measuring up to 5000 g (or 5 Kg).
Key Features and Functionality:
This force gauge provides versatile functionality suitable for diverse applications across research, development, quality assurance, and manufacturing engineering.
• Measurement Modes: The instrument supports both tension and compression measurements (Push & Pull).
• Unit Selectability: Users can select between three kinds of display units: gram (g), ounce (oz), and Newton (N).
• Peak Hold Function: The meter includes a Peak Hold feature that freezes the maximum load value detected during a tension or compression measurement, ensuring that peak readings are not missed.
• User Controls: A Zero button allows for full capacity zero (tare) control capability and can operate in both normal measuring mode and "peak hold" operation. The display direction can also be reversed via a push button.
• Response Time: The user can select between a Fast response time (approximately 0.2 second) or a Slow response time (approximately 0.6 second).
• Durability and Interface: The device features over load protection (up to 30 kg max. capacity) and is designed for both handheld use and stand mounting, with mounting holes provided on the back case for easy installation on optional professional test stands. It also includes an RS-232 computer interface for data output.
Application Areas:
The Lutron FG-5000A is an essential tool for various industries and environments, including:
• Materials testing
• Quality control
• Research and development
• Manufacturing
• Engineering
• Automotive
• Laboratory testing
Included and Optional Accessories:
The force gauge comes complete with a full line of included accessories to facilitate immediate use and diverse testing needs, such as an operating manual and a carrying case. Standard included accessories typically comprise a flat-head adapter, a hook adapter, a cone head adapter, a chisel head adapter, and a 120 mm extension rod.
Optional accessories are available to enhance its functionality, including a professional test stand (such as Model FS-1001) for material tension and compression analysis, a wedge grip (Model WG-01) to hold tested materials, data logging software (Model SW-U801-WIN), and an RS232 cable (Model UPCB-04).
