Plug & Test® Adapters

Connect common strain gage-based load cells, force sensors, and torque sensors to Models M7I, M5I, and M3I indicators and Series F test frames with these user-configurable adapters.

Sensor capacity and resolution may be configured via an included software utility, which includes a library of common force capacities from 0.12 to 750,000 lbF (0.5 N to 4,000 kN), and torque capacities from 10 ozFin to 40,000 lbFft (7 Ncm to 57,000 Nm). An identification number may be configured, which is displayed upon indicator power-up or the indicator’s Information screen.

Through Plug & Test® technology, all configuration and calibration information is saved within the adapters. This flexibility allows for interchangeability between multiple sensors with any Mark-10 indicator or Series F test frame.
