DFS3 Series Digital Force Gauges

The Chatillon DF3 Digital Force Gauge is ideal for:
Both basic and more complex applications
Collection of breaking force and peel strength data on test materials
Statistical analysis on the data directly on the screen
Complex analysis of test data and results through connection to the freely supplied ForceTest Software
Comfort in handheld use
The DFS3 Force Meter design consists of:
An ergonomic design that ensures a stable grip and easy mounting
A large, easy-to-read color-display that highlights readings and icons for easy navigation
A rugged rubber keypad ensures a single touch operation that corresponds to displayed options on the screen and guides its user during operation
The DFS3 Digital Force Gauge functionality offers:
Time saving test setup functionality, auto-save test results, and automatic export of these for further analysis
A large, easy-to-read color-display that highlights readings and icons for easy navigation
A variety of standard gauge functions, including normal and peak readings, high/low limits, set points, load averaging and pass/fail results.
Specimen Break Detection with associated results
Optionally inverted display with dimmable illumination
Audible warning and key-press tones
Pincode Protection to disable unwanted configuration changes and ability to hide results
All DFS3 Series force gauges are supplied with the advanced ForceTest software to further expand the gauges’ functionality.

Use the DFS3 as a 3-in-1 testing device
Use your DFS3 digital force gauge together with the two external force transducers, AFM external loadcell, and AQM external torque transducer, which turns your DFS3 into a 3-in-1 testing device to offer ultimate flexibility when performing different types of tests in various applications without having to constantly change settings. All settings can be preconfigured so that the sensors are ready for use, and this especially increases the effciency when doing repeated testing day-after-day.


Use the DFS3 Digital Force gauge with the motorized test stand, TCM.
To benefit from a more stable and reliable material test speed, the digital force gauge DFS3 can be combined with a TCM Motorized Test Stand. This helps to eliminate any variables that might impact the force readings and offers an ideal solution for force measurement testing. The TCM series is well adapted for production environments and attached with the DFS3 digital force gauges makes tensile, compression, peel, and flexural testing of your samples an easy task.
