The vertical manual force gauge test stand is designed for tension and compression tests with a robust, stable structure suitable for loads up to 1,000 N. The guided system improves alignment between the force gauge, sample and accessories, providing more controlled test conditions than manual use of the instrument alone.
Travel is adjusted by means of a handwheel, allowing the force gauge to be moved progressively and force to be applied gradually. This solution is useful when the contact point must be approached carefully, when sample behaviour needs to be observed during loading, or when a specific force value must be reached in a controlled manner.
The vertical configuration can be used for compression, tension, insertion, extraction, detachment and breaking-load tests, with clamps, compression plates, hooks or other accessories selected according to the component to be tested.
The test stand is compatible with SADFG digital force gauges and SADFG-P high-accuracy digital force gauges. The choice of instrument depends on the required measuring range, the level of accuracy needed and the planned methods for data acquisition and management.
The X-Y adjustable lower base facilitates sample positioning in relation to the force gauge axis. This adjustment is particularly useful when the geometry of the component, gripping point or selected accessory requires careful alignment before the test begins.
Correct positioning helps limit lateral forces and unintended stresses that could affect the measurement. The sample can be centred in relation to the instrument without moving the entire structure, making it easier to prepare tests on different components.
The integrated digital measuring scale displays displacement during the test. Force shown by the force gauge and position variation can therefore be observed at the same time, providing useful information for comparing samples, assessing deformation or identifying the point at which a specific load is reached.
Its capacity up to 1,000 N and robust construction make this test stand particularly suitable for more demanding manual checks than models intended for lower loads. The operator retains direct control of movement while working with a stable, adjustable system that is also suitable for repeated tests.
To obtain comparable results, sample position, accessory type, force application point and handwheel operating method should be kept consistent.

FAQ – Vertical manual force gauge test stand
What is a vertical manual force gauge test stand used for?
It supports and moves the force gauge during tension and compression tests, improving stability, alignment and control of force application.
What is the maximum capacity of the test stand?
The test stand is suitable for tests with loads up to 1,000 N.
Which force gauges can be mounted on the test stand?
It is compatible with SADFG digital force gauges and SADFG-P high-accuracy digital force gauges.
How is the force gauge moved?
Travel is adjusted manually by a handwheel, allowing load to be applied progressively to the sample.
What is the advantage of handwheel operation?
The handwheel provides gradual, controlled movement, which is useful when approaching the contact point and observing sample behaviour during the test.
Can the test stand be used for both tension and compression tests?
Yes. Test configuration depends on sample positioning and the use of suitable clamps or accessories.
What is the purpose of the X-Y adjustable base?
It allows the sample to be moved and centred in relation to the force gauge axis, facilitating correct alignment before the test.
Why is correct sample alignment important?
Correct alignment helps apply force along the intended axis, reducing lateral stresses that could affect the result.
Can displacement be displayed?
Yes. The integrated digital measuring scale allows displacement to be read while force is being applied.
When is displacement information useful?
It is useful for assessing deformation, comparing different samples or identifying the position at which a specific force value is reached.
Can different clamps and accessories be used?
Yes. The test stand can be configured with clamps, compression plates, hooks and other accessories selected according to sample geometry and test requirements.
For which tests is the more robust structure suitable?
It is suitable for manual checks involving higher loads, breaking, insertion, extraction and compression tests, as well as checks on mechanical components or assemblies.
When is a motorized test stand preferable?
A motorized test stand is more suitable when travel speed must be controlled, numerous repeated tests are required or operator influence needs to be reduced further.
