Short Description

The Lutron FG-5100 is a professional digital force gauge engineered for precise tension (pull) and compression (push)force measurements. Featuring a high-capacity 100 kg (980 N / 220 lb) load cell, backlit LCD display, peak hold function, reversible display, fast/slow response modes, and an RS-232 computer interface, it is ideal for industrial quality control, production testing, material testing, laboratories, and research applications. The instrument can be used as a handheld device or mounted on an optional test stand for highly accurate and repeatable measurements.
