SHIMPO EM-series User Manual
Mechanical Force Gauge
Series EM
Introduction
The EM mechanical force gauge is
a direct reading, dial type instrument designed for measuring
tension and compression forces.
All models are housed in a rugged,
ergonomically designed housing
which makes these instruments
ideal for material testing, manufacturing, quality control and laboratory environments.
1. T ension Sensing Rod (M6P1)
Measure tensile forces with the
small hook attachment.
2. Measure switch
Use this switch to select real
time or peak force.
3. T are Ring
Rotate tare ring to compensate
the attachment's weight.
4. Compression Sensing Rod
(M6P1)
Measure compressive forces
with following attachments: flat
head, conical head, chisel head
and notched head.

Precautions
Do not exceed capacity of unit.
Accuracy may be affected if unit is exposed to high
humidity , dust or extreme shock.
General Operation
Optional Accessories (cont'd)
1. Use "selector button" to select average (real time) or
peak mode.
2. Add proper attachment to push or pull measuring end.
3. Rotate tare ring to read"0". Adjustment should be
made under the same conditions as those used when
measuring actual load.
4. T o select average mode, push button down and turn
all the way counter clockwise.
5. T o select peak mode, turn button all the way clockwise. T o reset to zero, push button slightly.
Note: When in average mode you can still freeze the
indicator needle when desired measurement is reached
by turning selector all the way clockwise.
