Penetrometer PCE-PTR 200N

The PCE-PTR 200N force gage is a hand-held device up to 200 N / 45 lbs. The force measuring device can determine the units N, kg and lb. The PCE-PTR 200N force gage is supplied with various shaped adapters. These can be screwed onto the device and thus offer the optimum solution for differently designed surfaces in the measurement of pressure and tension. In addition to the adapters, an extension rod is also supplied, which allows measurements in hard to reach places. This extension rod has a length of 65 millimeters / 2.6 inches. The PCE-PTR 200N force gage includes a flat head adapter, hook adapter, ball head adapter, chisel head adapter, and a notched head adapter, with the hook adapter used for pulling force measurements. 
The PCE-PTR 200N force gage offers the possibility to attach the force measuring device to a test stand by means of threads on the rear of the device. Test stands are always used in a force gage if reproducible measurement results are required during the force measurement. These test stands are ideal additions to a force gage, because they are operated by a precise hand wheel or a motor. In addition, both tensile and compressive force measurements can be performed on them. Experiments in the laboratory are thus possible with the force gage as well as the inspection at the incoming goods inspection.
The internal load cell is maintenance-free, light and characterized by extremely long service life. For the production of this load cell only high quality materials are used, which guarantee maximum safety and longevity. The force gage has an overload range. If you exceed this, you destroy the internal load cell. So if you select a force gage for your application, then for safety's sake move to the next higher model at the measuring range.
