ACCURACY: +/-1%
The unique FDK/ FDN is a low cost dial push-pull force gauge designed for routine
hand-held force testing. It offers basic features – peak force hold, dual lbf/ kgf/ N
graduations and mounting holes – for tension and compression testing to 60 lbf/ 30 kgf/
300 N.
The FDK/ FDN features sixteen capacities with dual graduations in pound/gram, ounce/
gram or Newton/gram models. Optional stainless steel handle provides stability and
comfort for higher pull force testing and NIST Calibration Certificate is available.
After 30 years, the Force Dial has served virtually all sectors of industrial force measurement,
as well as fruit ripeness, therapeutic pain and ergonomic testing. The simplicity, low cost
and compact portability of the FDK/ FDN make is possible.
