Chatillon DFS3 Series Digital Force Gauge with Remote Loadcell (DFS3-025-AFM-100)

Description

Chatillon DFS3 Series advanced digital force gauge with higher accuracy and included ForceTest software. Suitable for handheld and test-stand applications requiring detailed data capture and analysis.

Typical applications: materials testing, peel/seal strength, medical device testing, electronics, and production QC where ±0.1% accuracy and software reporting are required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What’s the accuracy of the DFS3-025-AFM-100?
A: The DFS3 Remote Loadcell series is rated at ±0.1% of full scale, with 30 kHz peak sampling so it can catch fast break/peak events that a standard-accuracy gauge would miss.

Q: Does the DFS3-025-AFM-100 include a NIST-traceable calibration certificate?
A: Yes — every DFS3 Remote Loadcell unit ships with a NIST-traceable Certificate of Calibration.

Q: Can the DFS3-025-AFM-100 be used handheld, or does it require a test stand?
A: Both. It’s designed to work handheld for spot checks and can also be mounted on a compatible Chatillon test stand for repeatable, stationary testing.

Q: What software does the DFS3-025-AFM-100 work with?
A: ForceTest software is included for real-time data capture, graphing, and report generation on a connected PC.

Q: What’s the remote loadcell capacity on the DFS3-025-AFM-100?
A: This model uses a 100 lbf remote loadcell.

Q: What’s the overload protection on the DFS3-025-AFM-100?
A: The load cell is protected to 150% of its rated capacity.
