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.
