The Compact Force Gauge (CFG+) is the entry-level, low-cost digital force gauge from Mecmesin.
It is suitable for elementary tension and compression tests ranging from 50 to 500 N.
This lightweight, pocket-sized digital alternative to mechanical force gauges is ideal for non-critical applications that require peak measurements.

The Basic Force Gauge (BFG) is the core digital instrument for tension and compression measurement from Mecmesin, there are 6 models covering load ranges from 10 N to 2500 N.
A portable, affordable and easy-to-use force measurement solution with ‘live’ load display and ultimate peak hold capture.
The small, lightweight Wedge Grip is ideal for tensile testing below 500 N.
A spring-loaded lever ensures the serrated jaws (16mm wide x 20mm high) are easy to open for fast securing and release of samples. As load is applied, the self-tightening action of the wedge jaws ensures the sample is held rigidly without slippage.
Fitted with a 10-32 UNF threaded hole and grub-screw for fixing to the base plate of a test stand. When fixing to a loadcell/gauge these wedge grips are often be used with a chain-link assembly to provide a flexible connection.
Parallel Jaw Grips are designed for tensile testing up to 500N of thin flat components and materials, which require secure gripping over an extended surface area.
Star handles allow jaw positions to be adjusted to ensure central loading during tensile testing.
Jaw faces are 44mm high x 32mm wide and serrated to clamp specimens securely. Maximum specimen thickness = 6mm.
Fitted with 10-32 UNF threaded hole and male grub-screw.
Compact Force Gauge (CFG+)
The CFG+ digital force gauge represents a highly affordable alternative to mechanical gauges and features an accuracy of ±0.5% of full-scale.
There are 3 models available with maximum capacities of 50, 200 and 500 N.
A clear simple LCD display shows readings in the most common measurement units (N, kN, mN, gf, kgf, lbf and ozf). Values are shown as continuously changing ‘live’ or frozen in the display to capture the peak reading.
Manufactured in a lightweight ABS plastic housing, the CFG+ has a simple keypad and comes equipped with RS232 output for easy data transmission.
Its primary use is as a hand-held device but it’s design makes it attachable to manual test stands for more controlled testing. An overload warning function, to reduce the risk of accidental damage to the instrument by an operator, is standard on all models.
Powered by disposable AA batteries, the CFG+ comes with basic accessories for tension and compression testing. A declaration of conformity is supplied as standard with a calibration certificate available for a small additional fee.
