Shimpo FGE-XY DART Series

The Shimpo FGE-XY DART Series combine a rugged, ergonomic and compact design with exceptional accuracy to provide a solid force testing instrument. These instruments are utilized in a variety of applications such as, incoming quality inspection, finished goods testing, R&D or almost any portable or force stand testing requirement.

Simple one button adjustment changes units of measure, while pressing the peak button quickly produces the highest recorded value during the test. The 180° reversible display combined with the adjustable force direction and dual labeled keypad enable the Shimpo FGE-XY DART Series to excel in both compression and tension applications in any direction. Models are available from 0.5 lbs to 100 lb ranges providing a large offering for various testing requirements.

Typical applications of the Shimpo FGE-XY DART Series include wallboard, wire pull, wire crimps, trigger pull, brake pedal, aerospace ceramic, springs, food ripeness, corrugated paper strength, blister pack, medical component, muscle strength, ergonomic testing, adhesives, syringe plunger, needle sharpness and many more.

  • 1000 Hz Sample Rate provides faster sampling producing better resolution and more accurate results
  • High accuracy +/-0.2% F.S., ideal for strict tolerances
