Dynamometer PCE-FM 500N for tensile and compressive force measurement up to 500 N with an internal force sensor and USB interface for data transfer. The PCE-FM 500N force measuring device is a microprocessor-controlled instrument that provides fast and accurate readings of tensile and compressive forces in N, kg, and lb. The display is easy to read due to the large digits. The device is equipped with an internal force sensor for tensile and compressive tests. The force sensor of the PCE-FM 500N has an M6 threaded head, allowing the device to be easily mounted and screwed into various fixtures, test setups, and test stands. It operates with an internal battery or an external power supply. Additionally, it features a USB interface for data transfer. With this interface and the software for the force measuring devices, data can be quickly and easily transmitted to a PC. Using the optionally available mounting plate, the force sensor can be adapted to various test stands. These test stands are ideal for tensile and compressive force measurements during quality control and experiments in laboratories or for product development.
