The Advanced Force Gauge (AFG) is the most versatile and fully-featured digital force
gauge on the market. It can be used hand-held or fixed to a manual or motorised test
stand and for added flexibility the AFG is able to recognise data from a range of
external ‘Smart’ force and torque sensors, so you can use it as a universal display for
remote applications (see pages 5 to 8).
KEY FEATURES:
• 10 capacities - from 2.5N to 2500N
• Peak capture - Ultimate max + 1st peak
• Data output - RS232, digimatic and analogue Audible & visual pass/fail
• Pass/Fail Alarms - audible and visual alarms set a threshold
• Overload warning with trend bar for immediate alert when
• Wide range of grips and fixtures limits are exceeded

The Advanced Force & Torque Indicator
See pages 5 - 8 for ‘Smart’ Force & Torque Sensors
The Advanced Force & Torque Indicator (AFTI) is a high-specification display unit with
similar features and benefits of the AFG, for use with Mecmesin ‘Smart’ force and
torque sensors. These plug into the AFTI enabling it to automatically register either
force or torque readings for a variety of test applications. ‘Smart’ sensors may also
be used with Mecmesin’s Advanced Force Gauge (AFG).

These sensors are ideal for mounting onto your own test rigs
and jigs to monitor load application. They can also be used for
checking calibration of your machinery to assess whether it is
applying the expected load.

‘Smart’ Force & Torque Sensors
All sensors are fitted with 1.5m cable length, are fully interchangeable and are supplied
with Calibration Certificates traceable to UK National Standards. As standard they are
delivered in cardboard transit cases.
Key Features:
• Sensors for torque, tension & compression
• Calibration Certificates traceable to UK National Standards
• Resolution - 1:5000
• Overload protection feature
• 1.5m cable length as standard
adaptable

for tolerance information if your
application is dimensionally critical.
Overload protection by software warning is typically 120% of full scale for all items
(without accessories), with additional mechanical overload protection being up to a
minimum of 150% of full scale.
All gauges and sensors are calibrated under controlled laboratory conditions at a
temperature of 20C ±2C. Resolution for all sensors is typically 1:5000 - e.g. a 5000N
loadcell resolves to 1N.
