For tension and compression force testing applications, Mark-10 digital force gauges are some of the best in the industry. These gauges can capture tension and compression peak force. They also contain adjustable units of measurement.
These gauges feature the broadest force range even compared to competitor gauges: the gauges range from 50 gF full scale to 2,000 lbF. For a complete testing solution, you may utilize Mark-10 force gauges together with a force test stand with gripping fixtures. Alternatively, you may use them handheld just as well.
