(Mark-10: Copiague, NY) -- Mark-10 introduces its new Series 5 Digital Force gauges, designed for tension and compression force testing in quality control, manufacturing, and research and development areas. A range of capacities from 0.12 lb to 500 lb (0.5 N to 2,500 N) is available to address numerous applications in every industry, including medical device, pharmaceutical, packaging, consumer products, automotive, aerospace, and others. Accuracy is better than ±0.1 percent of full scale.

The force gauge’s averaging mode addresses the need to record the average force over time, useful in applications such as peel testing, while external trigger mode makes switch-activation testing simple and accurate. An ergonomic design allows for hand-held use or mounting to a test stand or fixture for more sophisticated testing requirements. The housing may be reversed for the load cell shaft to be oriented up or down; the display and buttons remain upright.
