High Capacity Digital Force Gauges with
180° reversible display & dual labeled
keypad for both push, pull applications
The Series FGV-HX & FGE-HX Digital Force Gauges offer an en-
hanced heavy-duty housing allowing them to be utilized in high
capacity tension and compression applications. These instru-
ments are utilized in a variety of applications such as, incoming
quality inspection, finished goods testing, R&D or almost any por-
table or force stand testing requirement.
Models are available in 200, 500 or 1000 lb ranges providing nec-
essary performance for high capacity testing. The 180° reversible
display combined with the adjustable force direction and dual la-
beled keypad enable these units to excel in both compression
and tension applications in any direction.
The FGV-HX’s add the free Toriemon software allowing further
data analysis on a PC. In addition, the RS-232C and analog out-
puts provide maximum communication flexibility.
