Force Measurement Instruments

Microprocessor-controlled, the DFS series represents a unique approach to force testing. Designed to be handheld or stand mounted, the DFS features many advanced functions typically included on gauges costing twice as much. Intelligent and versatile, these high performance gauges are easily user configured for sampling and display update rate, units of measure, baud rate, data output stream, memory type and high and low set points. Large memory capacity (100 samples) and on board statistical processing allows the DFS series to operate with or without computer control. Additionally, each gauge possesses three types of signal outputs for data collection and function ...

The Digital Remote Indicator (DRI) incorporates Shimpo's flagship DFS gauge design and features a high sampling rate of up to 1000 Hz for precise peak force and torque measurements. The DRI stores up to 100 readings plus statistics that later can be conveniently downloaded for SPC purposes. Used in conjunction with a Shimpo motorized or manual test stand, the DRI lends itself to thousands of applications and permits hands-free testing. Used by hand, the DRI safely allows the accurate measurement of forces and torque in hard-to-reach areas.

Shimpo LC remote load cells are available in capacities up to 500 pounds, enabling force testing of bulky objects. Our TS-SD and TS-J ...

The DART 1000 series, with its fast 1000 Hz update rate, is able to capture the highest force peaks. With variable display update rate and the same superior accuracy as the DFS series, these new gauges feature unique 180 degree flip displays, permitting the user to read the display right-side up. Additional enhancements are; dual direction keypad, variable baud rate for SPC applications, selectable force direction indication, and selectable power on/off settings.

The digital FGE-HX series offers the same user-friendly features of (The DART 1000 series), but in an extremely heavy-duty case, allowing the gauges to handle larger capacities from 0 to 500 pounds. Two knurled steel handles are provided for hand operation and a hanger is included which enables each gauge to be used as a scale.

Incredibly durable and user-friendly, our economical MF mechanical gauges are excellent for repetitive testing in assembly line or quality control lab applications. The peak mode features an easy push-button reset; this is especially helpful for doing repetitive testing in an assembly line or quality control lab. The large dial indicator allows you to see force changes as they occur. The MF was economically designed for handheld use, but may also be used with the optional handle (great for loads over 15 pounds). Due to its mechanical design, response time is immediate. A large, easy to read dial indicator was designed to reduce gauge parallax.

Shimpo's advanced motorized test stands are designed as companion pieces to our top quality force gauges, providing complete force measurement systems for the most precise testing applications. Their all steel construction makes them remarkably rugged, while programming and cycling capabilities enable them to be highly intelligent.

Our motorized test stands are offered in both vertical and horizontal models and are available in a wide range of capacities. Can be used with all current Shimpo force gauges, as well as some earlier model Shimpo gauges. Various interface cables available.

Our manual force gauge stands are designed for precision, balance and durability and are perfectly suited for measuring a limitless range of materials including wire, springs, plastic, paper cord, tubing, glass and composites.

Shimpo offers two types of manual stands: lever and hand wheel. The lever action is ideal for rapid testing applications; the hand wheel stand is excellent when more precise control is needed. Both the lever and hand wheel stands are available in various capacities and assure accurate, precise and consistent testing results when used in conjunction with our digital FGE/V-X, FGE/V-HX, DFS or mechanical MF force gauges.
