Mark 10 BG Digital Force Gauges
|
The Mark 10 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.
Features:
- Compatible with all Mark 10 test stands and grips
- RS-232, Mitutoyo and analog outputs
- GCL-Gauge Control Language for full computer control
- Automatic timed output on RS-232
- Dual set points with outputs
- Averaging mode for average readings over time
- External trigger for contact or switch testing and data capture
- General purpose I/O for external device control
- Programmable analog and digital filters
- Selectable units of measurement
- Programmable default configuration
- Peak memory for tensile and compressive forces
- Push-button calibration
- Battery or AC operation
- Programmable automatic shutoff
- Reversible aluminum housing for handheld use or test stand mounting (see below)
- Same housing size for all capacities

Mark-10 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 |
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 Mark-10 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.
Optional Equipment:
- A wide range of test stands and gripping fixtures
- 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.
- 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.
- Output cable - Send test data to a PC, statistical printer, or other data collector for further analysis.
