OMEGA’s DFG55 advanced digital
force gauges are designed for
tension and compression force
testing in numerous applications
across virtually every industry.
With capacities from 0.12 to 500 lb
(0.5 to 2500 N) the gauges feature
an industry-leading sampling rate
of 7000 Hz, producing accurate
results even for quick-action tests.
Accuracy is ±0.1% of full scale
±1 digit, and resolution is 1/5000.

A large, backlit graphics LCD
displays large, legible characters,
while the simple menu navigation
allows for quick access to the
gauges’ many features and
configurable parameters. Data can
be transferred to a PC or other data
collector via USB, RS232, Mitutoyo
(Digimatic), or analog outputs.

On-board data memory for up to
1000 readings is included, as are
statistical calculations and output
to a PC. Integrated set points with
indicators are ideal for pass-fail
testing and for triggering external
devices such as an alarm, relay, or
test stand. The gauges are overload
protected to 150% of capacity, and
an analog load bar is shown on the
display for graphical representation
of applied force.

The DFG55’s averaging mode
addresses the need to record the
average force over time, useful in
applications such as peel testing,
while external trigger mode makes
switch activation testing simple and
accurate.
