Product Overview
The Noske-Kaeser NK-500 is a compact mechanical push-pull force gauge engineered for accurate industrial load measurement.
It measures tensile and compressive forces up to 500 newtons, therefore supporting demanding testing tasks across multiple industries.
Moreover, the analog pointer design ensures immediate readability without batteries, improving reliability in continuous workshop operation.
Engineers value this instrument for consistent results during repetitive testing, calibration checks, and controlled quality inspections.
Key Features and Functional Benefits
The dual-scale dial displays newtons and kilogram-force simultaneously, therefore eliminating manual unit conversion during testing.
In addition, the peak hold mechanism captures maximum force values accurately during pull or compression cycles.
The mechanical construction resists electrical interference, making the gauge suitable for laboratories and harsh industrial environments.
Furthermore, operators can easily switch between real-time measurement and peak mode using a simple front control.
The lightweight housing supports handheld operation, while mounting fixtures enable stable use on manual test stands.
