Digital Force Gauge - The FGD series by Starr Instruments is designed to be used for testing tension and compression force in a wide range of industrial applications throughout Australian industry.

Built with a metal casing for durability and with a large auto-reversible Liquid Crystal display; the FGD series uses an integrated S-beam load cell to measure the applied force in both push and pull directions. 

It has touch-sensitive buttons for easy operation and is fitted with an overload protection system consisting of an audible and visual alarm to reduce the chance of misuse and damage to the load cell.

A large internal memory of 1,000 records provides the user with data collection capabilities. The FGD has the ability to connect to your PC directly via USB for live recording or to download the data memory for further reporting. 

It can be used for manual handling testing and OH&S; to determine safe work load limits when pushing and or pulling materials handling equipment such as pallet trucks, lift trucks, trolleys, bins, fire doors etc. It is also suitable for production line use for QA go/no-go checking of products. 

Other uses include in the design and production testing of window and door fixtures (WSD), latches, levers; etc.  Further uses include with FMCG, plus food and beverage packaging manufacture, food and produce firmness, pharmaceutical, automotive OEM and many more.
