AFM & AQM
Versatility and Simplification The external sensors: AFM external load cell, and the AQM external torque transducer, can be used together with our force gauge DFS3 to offer ultimate flexibility when performing different types of tests in various applications without having to constantly change settings. All settings can be preconfigured so that the sensors are ready for use, and this especially increases the effciency when doing repeated testing day-after-day.
Up to two external sensors can be connected in the DFS3 force gauges. Together with the internal sensor., the full set-up provides a 3-in-1 device. The force gauge shows the results from one sensor at a time, so that there is no doubt as to which sensor the results come from.
It is easy to connect the two external sensors - they both have an ADC inline box, which ensures a stable digital signal and enables the force gauge itself to identify them with a single click. The digital communication offers an improved accuracy and keeps the calibration information stored within the external device, meaning it can be used by other DFS3 gauges without affecting readings. This makes it plug-and-play.
- External loadcells AFM - Capacities from 0.5lbf to 1000lbf (2.5N to 5000N) Accuracy: 0.1% FS
- External Torque Transducers AQM - Capacities from 3in-lbf to 200in-lbf (0.35 Nm to 20 Nm) Accuracy: 0.3% FS
AFM & AQM with the DFS3
Unique User Interface The AFM and AQM sensors are automatically recognized by the DFS3 force gauge. The integrated electronics associated with the sensors contain all the calibration parameters necessary to guarantee the best measurement precision and metrological monitoring. In addition, potential overloads, dates, and values are also stored in memory and displayed.
Always up to speed With the DFS3 you are always sure to have the latest firmware on your device. Our cloud-based software AMETEK Device Agent helps you identify the latest firmware and get it updated in only 60 sec.
Versatility and Flexibility All the DFS3s have an internal Loadcell and TWO external transducer inputs. A Test Station could be configured and set up with 3 transducers.
The DFS3 manages and interfaces with one sensor at a time. With FIVE Test Setups available, you can pre-configure your tests with the required transducer. This simplifies and improves the quality and reliability of your measurements. Fast and intuitive!
AFM with the motorized TCM
Get greater flexibility in application solutions
To benefit from a more stable and reliable test speed, the external AFM loadcells can be combined with a TCM Motorized Test Stand. This helps to eliminate any variables that might impact the force readings and offers an ideal solution for force measurement testing. The TCM series is well adapted for production environments and attached with the DFS3 digital force gauges makes tensile, compression, peel, and flexural testing of your samples an easy task.
In this solution, you get a powerful stand-alone solution for product testing, where the DFS3 force gauge can display the TCM travel for easy positioning of the moving crosshead. The TCM will stop at break or stop at the limit set on the gauge. This solution is also ideal where repeated measurements are required. Here, the TCM series will ensure that the test is carried out in exactly the same way every time, thus making data collection easier and more comparable.
Benefits with the ForceTest software
- Adding the Chatillon ForceTest software will power up your TCM Series force testing solution and will turn your analysis into a fast and simple process. By combining the DFS3 force gauge and the ForceTest software with the TCM Series you obtain:
- Unique solution with powerful and modern UI in ForceTest software
- Plotting of Force (DFS3)
- Setups for Force (Tension or Compression) Torque, Friction and Peel
- Library of results and calculations (ForceTest):

DFS3 Series
The DFS3 Series offers the best price performance of any digital force gauge available today. This compact, easy-to-use force gauge is designed for basic and complex applications. Ideal for handheld or test stand applications, the DFS3 may be equipped with integral loadcells or smart remote sensors for load measurement or torque measurement.
Measurement accuracy is better than 0.1% full scale in integral load cell models. A large, easy-to-read, high resolution, full color LCD display supports a variety of standard gauge functions including normal and peak readings, high/low limits, setpoints, pass/fail results, statistical results, load averaging, % and sharp break detection, loadcell actuation and direction. Loads are displayed in ozf, gf, lbf, kgf and N units. The display can be inverted and displayed results may be ?hidden? from the operator. The DFS3 also offers password protection for gauge set ups.
Comprehensive Results
The DFS3 Series supplies you with comprehensive results that are
easy to view and understand. The gauge displays:
- Measured Result with Units:
- Peak Tension and Compression.
- Break Tension and Compression.
- Load Average/Time.
- Operating Mode.
- Pass-Fail Result.
- High and Low Load Results.
- Saved Results.
- Statistical Calculations:
- Average with MIN and MAX Results.
- Cv with Average and Standard Deviation.
- Standard Deviation.
- Graphical representation of saved results.
Outputs
The DFS3 Series comes standard with a USB-C connection. The USB interface allows communications with a PC.
Calibrate and Verify Status
The DFS3 Series incorporates flash memory. You have immediate access to battery conditions, including estimated battery life remaining. You can also view loadcell status, including the number of overloads that have been applied to the gauge
Time Method
The Time method allows you to establish your load averaging based on a load threshold and time duration. The load threshold determines the start of the averaging, while the time duration defines the length of the test period. The gauge will begin taking readings when the threshold is reached and will continue to take and average readings until the time duration has expired.
Battery Life
The extraordinarily long battery life of the DFS3 reduces the need for continuous recharging. The dimming functionality of the DFS3 provides a battery life of 30 hours when the dimming is off while turning the dimming on will provide a full 40 hours of battery life.
Functions and Features
Unique User Interface
Easy to use, single layer user interface. No deep menu structure! Operate and set-up the DFS3 to perform your tasks. Fast and intuitive! The high resolution display features brightness adjustments and can be inverted when required. The display can even be ?hidden? at the press of a button. A load bar graph indicating load direction, measured load, and safe load helps prevent overloads: the load bar changes from green to red to indicate proximity to load cell capacity. The integral loadcells feature mechanical overload protection at 150% Full Scale.
Dependable Measurements
The DFS3 Series features an integral loadcell sensor that delivers repeatable, accurate results. The innovative load bargraph shows dynamic load, direction of load and warns you of pending overload conditions. Smart technology in the gauge even keeps track of overload history to aide in maintenance and troubleshooting.

AQM
When combined with the DFS3, these rugged and accurate sensors turn your force gauge into a torque measurement device: no need to purchase another gauge. As is the case with the
dedicated loadcells, the gauge may be handheld or used in diverse remote configurations with the straight cable of app. 9ft (2.8M) .
This configuration also offers the flexibility of having both a force and a torque measurement in a single gauge. This is the unit to select for maximum flexibility: one unit and interchangeable
sensors can do it all. The gauge will operate the same as if it were an integral loadcell and all functions will operate normally.
The Chatillon® AQM series Torque Transducers are designed to operate in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions using strain gauge technology and an accuracy better than
0.3% of full scale is now possible for all detachable AQM Torque Transducers. All AQM Torque Transducers are calibrated in both clockwise and counterclockwise
directions tabulated on the NIST calibration certificate.
Note: Ideally when measuring Torque, the Torque Transducer should be
placed so that the torque loads always passes through its center while
minimizing lateral forces.
Important: The requirements to accomplish this are for the Torque to be
applied centrally while keeping the best possible rigid retaining surface.
Calibration Certificate for AQM Torque Transducers The calibration of the AQM Torque Transducer is carried out with the greatest care by our metrology experts. All the AQMs are delivered with a calibration certificate and a statement of Clockwise and Counterclockwise Torque measurements.

AFM with the motorized TCM
Get greater flexibility in application solutions
To benefit from a more stable and reliable test speed, the external AFM loadcells can be combined with a TCM Motorized Test Stand. This helps to eliminate any variables that might impact the force readings and offers an ideal solution for force measurement testing. The TCM series is well adapted for production environments and attached with the DFS3 digital force gauges makes tensile, compression, peel, and flexural testing of your samples an easy task.
In this solution, you get a powerful stand-alone solution for product testing, where the DFS3 force gauge can display the TCM travel for easy positioning of the moving crosshead. The TCM will stop at break or stop at the limit set on the gauge. This solution is also ideal where repeated measurements are required. Here, the TCM series will ensure that the test is carried out in exactly the same way every time, thus making data collection easier and more comparable.
Benefits with the ForceTest software
Adding the Chatillon ForceTest software will power up your TCM Series force testing solution and will turn your analysis into a fast and simple process. By combining the DFS3 force gauge and the ForceTest software with the TCM Series you obtain:
- Unique solution with powerful and modern UI in ForceTest software
- Plotting of Force (DFS3)
- Setups for Force (Tension or Compression) Torque, Friction and Peel
- Library of results and calculations (ForceTest):
- Peak (T & C)
- Maximum; Minimum; Average for complete test or, on a specific area of research
- Friction test setup with COF results
- Peeling test setup with peeling resistance results
- Selectable Break detection for either software or DF3 readings
