Mark-10 M5-100 Force Gauge

The Mark-10 M5-100 Advanced Digital Force Gauge is designed for high-precision tension and compression force testing, with a capacity of 100 lbf (500 N). This versatile gauge is suitable for a variety of applications, offering advanced features and robust performance for demanding industrial and laboratory testing environments.

Key Features:

• High-Speed Sampling: With a 7,000 Hz sampling rate, the M5-100 ensures fast and accurate force measurements, making it ideal for dynamic and high-speed testing applications.

• Data Transfer: Data can be transferred effortlessly to a PC or other data collection systems via USB, RS-232, Mitutoyo (Digimatic), or analog outputs, providing flexibility in data management.

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

• Live Load Bar Graph: A real-time graphical load bar with set point markers visually represents the applied force, helping operators monitor load limits and avoid overloads.

• Programmable Set Points: Integrated set points make pass-fail testing simple and reliable, and can trigger external devices such as alarms, relays, or test stands for enhanced testing automation.

• Averaging Mode: This feature calculates average force over time, useful for applications such as peel testing or continuous force measurements.

• External Trigger Mode: Facilitates switch contact testing by remotely stopping the display update, enhancing accuracy in tests that require switch activation.

• Configurable Audio Alarms: Audio alarms and key tones can be customized to suit individual preferences, improving user experience.

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