Z2 Digital Force Gauge

DISCONTINUED see ZT Series

Series Z2

The Z2 are high performance, digital force gauges which offer programmable high/low setpoints for go/no-go testing. ORANGE lights up for measurements less than Low setpoint, GREEN for between High and Low setpoint, and RED for over High setpoint.

Store up to 1,000 values in memory, which can be transmitted using RS-232C port. Use the real time mode to display load transients, or the peak mode to capture the peak force achieved during a test. Selectable measuring units of lbf, kgf, or Newtons.

All Z2 gauges are sold in kits which include the gauge, hard plastic carrying case, AC adapter/charger, and attachments (flat head, conical, chisel, notched, small hook, large hook, Y-hook, and extension rod). Built-in Ni-MH rechargeable batteries. An optional handle to facilitate the measurement of heavy loads is also available.
