our best force and torque measurement instrumentsThe Advanced Force Gauge (AFG) and Advanced Force & Torque Indicator (AFTI)provide premium features, versatility and accuracy. The Basic Force Gauge (BFG)offers outstanding performance at an affordable price. The Compact Force Gauge(CFG) is lightweight and small, making it ideal for field use.
Advanced Force Gauge - Model AFGWith the introduction of the all-new AFG from Quantrol,
the industry’s most advanced force gauge just got better.
The AFG offers unique features that separate it from
everything on the market today.
Class-Leading Features and Versatility
Interchangeable Loadcell Cartridges
The AFG features an interchangeable loadcell cartridge
for quick capacity changes. This loadcell, known as the
Advanced Loadcell Cartridge
(ALC), can be quickly
detached and exchanged for
another ALC. Each ALC’s
calibration and capacity are
automatically recognized by
the AFG for immediate use.
Nine different ALC capacities
are available, ranging from
2.5N - 1000N (0.55lbf - 220lbf).
High-Speed 5000Hz Data Acquisition
Peak readings for both tension and compression are
accurately captured with a 5000Hz internal sampling rate.
This high-speed processing is vital when capturing force
values that occur over a very small amount of time.
Outstanding Accuracy of 0.1%
The AFG provides an outstanding accuracy rate of 0.1%
of capacity, making it suitable for the most demanding
applications.

Versatile Display
The AFG includes advanced display features: Peak readings in both tension and compression
can be displayed while monitoring the live reading. The display readout can be inverted with the
touch of a button. A load-bar graph on the display provides a quick visual representation of applied
load to assist in preventing overload. The display is backlit for easy reading in dimly lit areas.
Smart Sensor Recognition
The AFG can be connected to external Quantrol Smart Force and Torque Sensors. When connected,
these sensors are automatically recognized, requiring no additional calibration or setup.
Communication with external devices
With configurable communication protocols and outputs including
RS-232, Analog and Mitotoyo for bi-directional data transfer, the AFG
can control data loggers and test stands.
Test Stand Control
Take control of a Quantrol motorized test stand with the AFG to ensure
accurate and repeatable test results. The AFG features cycle test
mode where any number of cycles are executed between user-
configurable load points. Also, the AFG is able to stop or reverse the
test stand based upon a load value or sample break.
The features of the AFG are designed to increasethroughput and quality without adding additional cost.
AFTI – Advanced Force &Torque Indicator
The AFTI contains no internal loadcell but maintains
the superior features of the AFG. The AFTI is
designed for users who require a precision external
force and/or torque sensor. Like the AFG, when
connected to a Quantrol Smart Torque Sensor, the
AFTI automatically converts to torque units of
measure. Also, clockwise and counter-clockwise
annunciators indicate direction the load is applied.

Basic Force Gauge - Model BFGThe all-new BFG from Quantrol offers a
myriad of new features at an even lower
price. The BFG force gauges are designed
for easy operation and provide outstanding
performance in both tension and
compression.
Outstanding Features and Value
0.25% Accuracy in 6 Capacities
The BFG is available in six different capacities
ranging from 10N - 2500N (2.2 lbf - 550 lbf),
each with an accuracy rating of 0.25% of
capacity.
1000Hz Data Acquisition
Tension and compression readings are
accurately captured with the BFG’s 1000Hz
internal sampling rate for high-speed data
acquisition.
RS-232 Communication
Data is transfered using standard protocols
through an RS-232 port for communication
with data loggers and PCs.
Test Stand Interface
The BFG can be mounted to a Quantrol test
stand for accurate and repeatable results.
Top-mounted serialport keepsconnectors out ofthe way.

Versatile Display
The BFG includes the same advanced display features as
the AFG: Peak readings in both tension and compression
can be displayed while monitoring the live reading. The
display readout can be inverted with the touch of a button.
A load-bar graph provides a quick visual representation of
applied load to assist in preventing overload. The display
is backlit for easy reading in dimly lit areas.
On-board Loadcell Diagnostics
To ensure accurate readings, the BFG is able to measure
the current loadcell offset and compare it with the offset
when calibrated.
