The ergoFET push and pull gauge is our most popular model. It offers the precision and features you expect in a force gauge for all your needs, and you can add the optional software for compiling data, building graphs or tables for testing, presentations or proposals.
Features - Hoggan ergoFET Push & Pull Gauge
- Innovative ergonomic design
- Easy-to-read LCD windows shows peak force and duration/seconds
- Versatile ergoFET can be used as a standalone gauge, or with HP IPAQ PDA and optional software
- User-friendly gauge can be disconnected from a PDA for simple testing, or reconnected for more detailed testing and analysis
- Push attachments include flat pad and curved pad
- Pull attachments include a four inch extension with a hook and standard carabineer
- Two 3.6v AA lithium batteries
Threshold Settings:
- Low and high threshold settings provide dual sensitivity for expanded range of use and accurate measurements of trace changes
- Low threshold of 0.8 pounds to 150 pounds in 0.1 increments (3.6 N -660 Newton 0.4 N increments)
- High threshold of three pounds to 150 pounds in one pound increments (12 N-660 Newton 4 N increments)
ergoFET Benefits:
- Accuracy within two percent
- One year warranty
- Weight of less than one pound
- Self-activating sleep mode to extend battery life
- Serial port is located on the unit and may be used in conjunction with testing software
ergoFET Optional Software:
- Adds easy to use ergoFET data acquistion software pre-loaded on the included HP Ipaq PDA
- Provides the capability to perform, save, retrieve and analyze tests
- Generates force graphs for analyzing data instead of viewing only digital or dial readouts
- Displays peak force, total test time and time/force curve
- Offers the capability to mark and review the specific time and force for any point on the time/force curve of each test
- Uploadable to PC for further analysis
Note: New data collection software is now available. The software takes the data from your gauge and saves it in a .csv format which can be opened with any spreadsheet program.
