Shimpo Instrument’s advanced Motor-
ized, Programmable Force Test Stands
combined with our line of top quality force gauges, pro-
vide a complete force measurement system capable of handling
the most precise testing applications. Their all steel construction
makes them remarkably rugged while performing with precision.
Programming capabilities provide the versatility to tackle a multi-
tude of applications. Two modes of operation, single or continu-
ous cycling allow for a single precise test or repetitive, consistent
results. User selectable high and low force set points through
RS232 interface or directly through the force gauge allows the
test stand to stop at specific force loads while displaying and out-
putting the displacement. These motorized stands are offered in
a wide range of force capacities in both vertical and horizontal
(FGS-250PV Series is vertical only) configurations and are avail-
able in both standard and ultra-slow speeds.
Motorized Programmable
Force Test Stands
Features
Series FGS-100PX
Horizontal
Motorized Test Stand
• 5 user programmable set points for speed, distance and stop time
permit customized testing
• Compatibility with nearly all manufacturers’ force gauges enables
flexibility in testing applications
• Analog voltage output of displacement allows graphing and analysis of
data on computer
• Manually adjustable upper and lower limits restricts movement, allowing
for precise testing
• All gauge functions can be communicated through stand via RS232
interface allowing easy operation and data download
• Compact, modular design reduces weight, footprint and cost of stand
