Mechanical Force Gauges (Push Pull Gauges)

Mechanical force gauges, also known as "push-pull gauges" or ""push-pull scale, are analog force measuring device for spring mechanism and are used to measure push and pull forces.

Mechanical force gauges are easy to read the transition of force by the movement of the needle and can realize stable force loading. The robust construction and the power-source free makes them easy to store and manage, and that is the primary reason why mechanical force gauges are popular in many quality control sites. If your usage is limited, mechanical is recommended for its low-cost and easy storage.

IMADA mechanical force gauges are signature product and have been supporting manufacturing since 1947. See the details from the product list.

*Due to their spring-loaded structure, mechanical force gauges are not suitable for impact tests such as destructive tests. Digital force gauges are recommendable for such tests.
