Mark 10 BG Digital Force Gauges |
 Authorized Dealer |
| The Mark-10 CG High Capacity Digital Force Gauge is ideal for heavy duty spring testing, destructive testing, and other force measurement applications requiring up to 1,000 lb of tensile or compressive force. These force gauges include all the advanced features of the Series BG, and are housed in ultra-rugged reversible aluminum housings for years of use in laboratory or factory environments | |

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

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.
