The Series 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 ESM motorized test stand). Go / no go testing can also be accomplished with an optional plug-in hi / lo limits indicator.

Now available in a new 50 gram (0.12 lb) capacity!
