The Aikoh 9800 series push pull force gauges use a precision force transducer to measure the compressive and tensile forces applied to the force probe. The unit displays real time force data on the LCD screen in any of the common force units - lbs kgf or N. The instruments can be set up to record a series of measurements and to tabulate and plot peak values and averages. High and low limit values can be set up for quality control and inspection operators. The orientation of the display and the format ( portrait or landscape ) can be set to match the orientation of the unit.
