DFC Force Gauge


DFC Force Gauge:  The DFC is a revolutionary concept for force measurement using a handheld force gage.  It may be used as a high-accuracy handheld force gage or as a digital controller for use with the FMM Digital Force Testers.   The DFC also serves as a universal interface where you set up your tests and where you configure load limits, distance limits, break limits, crosshead travel direction, crosshead speed and more.  It features a measurement accuracy of 0.1% full scale with internal data sampling at 25kHz. Display resolution is 10,000:1.  The DFC features Bluetooth®, USB and RS-232 communications plus digital I/O.

  • Limit Testing – Use load, distance or a break condition and report results at the limit including maximum load and distance at maximum load.
  • Load Average Testing – The load average test measures the load from the start and end of a test sequence.
  • Time Average Testing – Set a time duration for a test. When measuring load at the start of the test, the test concludes at the end of the time duration producing Average Load.
  • Cyclic Count Testing – Define the number of cycles up to 99,999
  • Cyclic Duration Testing – Define the duration of cycles up to 27 hours
  • Constant Hold Testing – Hold at a distance or load for creep and relaxation results. The maximum duration is 27 hours.
  • Contact Closure/Switch Testing – Uses the DFC force gage to signal when an electronic switch is opened or closed as load is applied or removed.
