Advanced Digital Force Gauges with Integral Load Cell

The Chatillon DFS series offers the best price performance of any digital force gauge available today. This compact, easy to use force gauge is designed for basic and complex applications. Ideal for hand held or test stand applications, the DFS may be equipped with integral loadcells or smart remote sensors for load measurement or torque measurement. Measurement accuracy is better than 0.1% full scale. A large, easy to read, high resolution dot matrix LCD display supports a variety of standard gauge functions including normal and peak readings, high/low limits, setpoints, pass/fail results, statistical results, load averaging, load comparisons, percentage and sharp break detection, loadcell actuation and direction. Loads are displayed in ozf, gf, lbf, kgf and N units. The display can be inverted and displayed results may be hidden from the operator.

The Chatillon DFS force gauge comes standard with an RS-232 cable, carrying case, battery adapter / charger, testing accessories and NIST Certificate of Calibration with data.
