Product Features and Specifications
Basic Product Specifications and Features
A force measurement device that replaces force gauges and push-pull gauges.
Two models available: the general-purpose MCT-1150, and the MCT-2150, which features a high-precision ball screw and a thicker, high-rigidity, high-durability crosshead.
- Comes with a high-precision load cell and is ready to use as soon as it is powered on.
- Jigs (attachments) that have been used with force gauges or push-pull gauges can also be used (for M6 screw type, when using the M6 male screw adapter).
