How to choose a suitable unit for your requirement of force measurement unit.
Imada offers three units for its force gauges: Newton-meters (N), Kilogram-force (Kgf), and Pound-force (lbf). The manual force gauge line consists of five series: FB, PS, PSM, PSH, and UKT/UKK. When choosing a manual/analog push pull gauge, you can select a force gauge with the desired capacity and unit, which then determines the model number. For example, if you require a capacity of 30 with a kilogram-force unit, the Imada force gauge model would be 30Kgf, and with a type of PSH, the complete model would be PSH-30K.
Imada in India also offers four types of digital force gauges: DSV, DST, ZTS, and ZTA. The model numbers for digital push pull gauges all end with “N”. Imada offers a variety of capacity ranges, including 2, 5, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, 2500, and 5000. To select a model, choose the desired capacity and add “N” as the unit, such as 100N for a capacity of 100. The complete model would then be ZTS-100N, depending on the type.
Imada’s Digital force gauges allow for flexible unit selection, with the ability to easily switch between Newton-meters (Nm), Kilogram-force (Kgf), and Pound-force (lbf) units with a few simple steps.

A force gauge/push pull gauge is the common device for force measurement and can quantify and express the generated force in an appropriate unit. With the use of Imada attachments or stands that are appropriate for the intended force measurement, an Imada force gauge can measure various forces such as mechanical strength, sensation of hardness or softness, operating force and functionality of switches and brakes, and more. Force measurement is widely used in quality control, research and development, training, and other situations.
