RDSV-1000N
Force Gauge

Measuring Range 0 – 1000 N
Electronic force gauge for determination of muscle strength, useable for numerous applications in rehabilitation and physical therapy

Force measuring device with USB and RS-232 interface

Low cost standard model for compression/tension force

Special Features

  • 3 operation modes:
    real time – display the actual tension or compression force
    peak force – to measure the peak force during a test
    continuity peak mode – to measure the peak force for each single measurement
  • Force gauge RDSV-1000N with high sampling rate of 1000 times/sec to measure the peak force
  • Display update 8 times/sec
  • Storage of 1000 values, which can be recalled:
    – on the display
    – data transfer to a PC
  • Output signal:
    – USB
    – RS-232
  • Force gauge RDSV-1000 with user switchable units: N, gf (kgf) and ozf (lbf)
  • Programmable high/low set-points for go/no-go testing:
    Display: good (OK), underrun/exceeding (OK is not displayed)
  • »Zero Set« to zero the gauge in all operating positions. Alarm signal, if the actual position differs to much from the calibration position
  • Mechanical stopper to prevent sensor-breakdown
  • With the optional software Force Logger Plus up to 4 sensors can be connected simultaneously for data processing to a PC
  • Manufacturers calibration report is included
  • Display can be reversed for inverted use; e. g. on vertical test stand

Standard Features

  • Force measuring device for exact measuring with an accuracy of ±0.2 % full scale ±1 digit
  • Overload protection:
    200 % full scale
  • For hand-held use or mounting on test stand (mounting thread 4 x M4 in back)
  • Easy to operate
  • Force gauge RDSV-1000N with easy to read LCD display
  • Ergonomically-designed, rugged die-cast aluminium housing
  • Operates on rechargeable battery (NiMH) and/or AC adapter
  • Full set of accessories included
  • Can be used for various parts of body and items on different measurement condition, by changing the attachment
