FG-7000TA-1 Torque Tester with Adjustable Clamp, 8.8 lb-in / 1 Nm

The FG-7000TA Series digital torque gauges provide testing flexibility with their external torque sensor input. Torque sensors with the adjustable clamp adapter are immediately recognized when connected to the display base. Units are available for your specific testing needs in 1 N-m (9 in-lb) 5 N-m (44 in-lb) & 10 N-m (88 in-lb) capacities.

The adjustable clamping mechanism can grip a variety of samples from approximately 0.56 to 2” (14 to 50 mm) diameters. Four selectable modes of operation include: Track mode for live readings, Peak mode for displaying the maximum reading, First Peak where only the initial peak is recorded once a decrease is sensed and Preset Mode which utilizes user-programmed tolerance alarms for go/no go testing.

The display has two selectable operations, numerical view with directional bar graph or graphical view with directional bar graph. In graphical view when alarm tolerances are set, the process is plotted in relation to the upper and lower limit graph lines. Combined with the go/no go icons, a simple pass/fail determination is recognized.

The FG-7000TA models have built-in memory for 1000 data points and can store a reading on-demand at the push of a button (for simple data acquisition) or be set to continuous data logging. Data can be viewed on the screen, sent to the optional printer, or loaded to be analyzed and graphed on the free software program. The 1,000-point memory with definable groups allows for multiple tests to be recorded and easily separated upon loading.

The Comparator Output can be set up for integration of the instrument into a quality system for repetitive testing such as on a production line. The large back-lit, 180° auto-reversible display, CW/CCW directional bar graph, combined with the dual labeled keypad allows for usage of the gauge in various positions.

Typical applications include testing to torque needed to open or close a jar or container (cap torque testing) or testing the open or closing torque on valves and door hardware, failure or destructive torque testing, or almost any torque testing requirement involving incoming quality inspection, finished goods testing to R&D.
