Force Gages
Quick Answer
A force gage is a precision instrument used to measure push and pull forces — expressed in units such as lbf, kgf, or Newtons — for tension, compression, peel, and insertion/extraction force testing. Force gages are used in manufacturing, quality control, research, and product testing to verify that components, assemblies, and materials meet specified force requirements across a wide range of industrial and laboratory applications.
