DIGITAL FORCE GAUGES

DRI with Load Cells and Torque Sensors Shimpo offers a range of pre-calibrated load cells and torque transducers that, when used with our Digital Remote Indicator, safely allow the accurate measurement of forces and torque in hard-to-reach areas. The Digital Remote Indicator (DRI) incorporates Shimpo’s flagship DFS gauge design and features a high sampling rate of up to 1,000 hz for precise peak force and torque measurements. The DRI stores up to 100 readings plus statistics that later can be conveniently downloaded for SPC purposes. Used in conjunction with a Shimpo motorized or manual test stand, the DRI lends itself to thousands of applications and permits hands-free testing. Shimpo’s LC remote load cells are available in capacities up to 500 pounds, enabling force testing of bulky objects. Our TC torque transducers precisely measure static torque for capacities up to 100 inch pounds. One year warranty.

Features	Benefits
