Accessory attachments are included with a force gauge purchase. The type and material depend on the gauge model and its allowable force. They can also be ordered separately.
Standard Type Accessory Attachments
A-1/S-1/SR-1
The small hooks A-1 (100N), S-1 (500N), and SR-1 (1000N) are accessory attachments used to hold samples for tension testing.
A-2/S-2
The flat tips A-2 (100N) and S-2 (1000N) are accessory attachments used for compression testing.
A-3/S-3
The conical tips A-3 (100N) and S-3 (1000N) are accessory attachments used for penetration testing.
A-4/S-4
The chisel tips A-4 (100N) and S-4 (1000N) are accessory attachments used for cutting tests.
A-5/S-5
The notched tips A-5 (100N) and S-5 (1000N) are accessory attachments used for compression testing of samples like spherical or cylindrical materials, where position guidance is needed to prevent rolling.
A-6/S-6
The extension shafts A-6 (100N) and S-6 (1000N) are accessory attachments. Other attachments can be mounted on their tip to reduce the distance between the sample and the attachment.
A-7/S-7
The large hooks A-7 (100N) and S-7 (1000N) are accessory attachments designed for tension testing of cylindrical samples, using their wide inner diameter to hook the samples.
A-8/S-8
The Y hooks A-8 (100N) and S-8 (1000N) are accessory attachments. Their Y shape applies force at two points for stable measurement, making them ideal for simulating the action of hooking a sample with fingers.
High Capacity Type Accessory Attachments
B-1
The extension shafts A-6 (100N) and S-6 (1000N) are accessory attachments. Other attachments can be mounted on their tip to reduce the distance between the sample and the attachment.
B-2
The extension shafts A-6 (100N) and S-6 (1000N) are accessory attachments. Other attachments can be mounted on their tip to reduce the distance between the sample and the attachment.
B-3
The extension shafts A-6 (100N) and S-6 (1000N) are accessory attachments. Other attachments can be mounted on their tip to reduce the distance between the sample and the attachment.
B-4
The chisel tip B-4 is a high-capacity accessory with a 5000N limit, designed for puncture testing.
B-5
The notched tip B-5 is a high-capacity attachment (5000N) for compression testing. It is used with samples like spherical or cylindrical materials to guide positioning and prevent rolling.
B-6
The B-6 extension shaft is a high-capacity accessory with a 5000N limit. Other attachments can be mounted on its tip to reduce the distance between the sample and the attachment.
B-7
The B-7 handle is a high-capacity attachment with a 5000N limit. It allows large forces to be applied steadily by hand.
B-8
The B-8 mounting bolt is a high-capacity accessory with a 5000N limit. It is used to mount high-capacity force gauges on a test stand.
