M5 Digital Force Gauge

The M5 Series advanced digital force gauges cater to a wide array of tension and compression testing needs across virtually all industries, offering capacities ranging from 0.12 lb to 2,000 lbF (0.5 N to 10 kN). These gauges stand out with an exceptional sampling rate of 7,000 Hz, ensuring precise measurements even in rapid testing scenarios. They boast an accuracy of ±0.1% of full scale and a resolution of 1/5000, making them highly reliable for detailed analysis.

Featuring a large, backlit graphics LCD, the M5 Series displays information in clear, easy-to-read characters. The user-friendly menu navigation provides swift access to a comprehensive suite of features and adjustable settings. For versatile data management, outputs are available via USB, RS-232, Mitutoyo (Digimatic), or analog connections.

With onboard storage for up to 1,000 readings, integrated statistical calculations, and PC output capabilities, these gauges are equipped for thorough data analysis. They also include set points with indicators for straightforward pass-fail testing and the activation of external devices like alarms or relays. The gauges offer overload protection up to 200% of capacity and feature an analog load bar for a visual representation of force application.

The averaging mode of the Series 5 is particularly useful for capturing average force over time in applications such as peel testing. Additionally, the external trigger mode enhances the accuracy of switch activation tests. Designed with ergonomics in mind, the reversible aluminum construction suits both handheld use and mounting on test stands for more complex testing needs.

Fully compatible with Mark-10 test stands, grips, and software, the M5 Series is a comprehensive solution for force measurement.

Included with the gauges, the MESUR® Lite software simplifies data collection, offering continuous or single-point data tabulation and easy export to Excel for advanced data analysis.
