premium FORCE GAUGEs SERIES BG

The Series BG Digital Force Gauge is an advanced force measurement solution, with sophisticated measurement capabilities, data outputs, computer control capabilities, and a long list of features and configurable settings. The BG can stop motorized test stand travel at user-selectable set points, and can also prevent force overload (when used with the ESM motorized test stand). Go / no go testing can also be accomplished with an optional plug-in hi / lo limits indicator.

Use MESURgauge Software to tabulate, graph, and analyze test data (more info)

Output via USB with the new RSU100 adapter! See Optional Equipment for details.

Reversible Housing - A Mark-10 Exclusive

All Mark-10 force gauges have reversible housings that allow the user to use the gauge with the load cell shaft pointing up or down, without the inconvenience of upside-down buttons and display. The housing for Series BG and Series EG gauges is reversible by separating the two halves and reassembling them with just one connector - an extra bit of engineering that will make your testing setups quicker and more efficient.

A wide range of test stands and gripping fixtures >> MESURgauge Software - tabulates and plots load vs. time or load vs. travel. Also calculates statistics, exports to Excel, and more. Output cables Send test data to a PC, statistical printer, or other data collector for further analysis. >> RS-232 to USB adapter Converts RS-232 to USB output. Includes USB cable and installation CD. Set point cable Stops test stand travel at programmable high and low set points for tension and compression forces. For use with Mark-10 motorized test stands. >> Hi / lo limits indicator Set limit conditions for a test - the indicator will display red lights for high and low limits, and a green light to indicate passing. Overload protection module Protects the force gauge against overloads during motorized tests, adjustable from 20 - 110% of gauge's full capacity. For use with Mark-10 motorized test stands.

	<< The BG is compatible with all Mark-10 force measurement test stands. It is shown here in a tensile testing application, mounted to an ESM motorized test stand with optional items: digital travel display, limit switches, and wedge grips.
	>> Series BG force gauges are supplied in a cushioned carrying case with AC adapter, rechargeable battery, chisel, cone, v-groove, hook, flat, extension rod, user's manual, and NIST-traceable certificate of calibration.

* includes coupling

For 220V operation add suffix E to model number. Example: BG50E
