Mark-10 M5-012 Force Gauge

The Mark-10 M5-012 Advanced Digital Force Gauge is designed for precision force testing in tension and compression applications, with a capacity of 0.12 lbf (0.5 N). Its high accuracy and advanced features make it ideal for delicate or low-capacity testing across various industries, offering powerful functionality for both handheld use and integration with test stands.

Key Features:

• High-Speed Sampling: The M5-012 offers a 7,000 Hz sampling rate, providing fast and precise force measurements, even for rapid or dynamic testing scenarios.

• Data Transfer: Easily transfer data to a PC or data collection system via USB, RS-232, Mitutoyo (Digimatic), or analog outputs, ensuring flexibility in data management.

• On-Board Memory: The gauge can store up to 1,000 readings in its internal memory, along with built-in statistical calculations (min, max, mean, and standard deviation) for comprehensive data analysis.

• Live Load Bar Graph: A graphical load bar with set point markers visually represents the applied force, enabling operators to monitor load levels in real-time and prevent overload.

• Programmable Set Points: Integrated set points with indicators make pass-fail testing straightforward, and can trigger external devices like alarms or relays to automate the testing process.

• Averaging Mode: The averaging feature calculates the average force over time, making it particularly useful for applications such as peel testing or continuous load monitoring.

• External Trigger Mode: This mode simplifies switch contact testing by remotely stopping the display update, increasing accuracy for tests that require precise switch activation.

• Configurable Audio Alarms and Key Tones: Customize audio feedback to enhance the user experience and ensure clear communication during testing.

• Password Protection: Protects calibration and key settings from unauthorized access, ensuring device security.
