Shimpo FG-M6WTER100 Wire Terminal Test Fixture Set, M6 Thread, 100lbs Capacity

The Shimpo FG-M6WTER100 wire terminal test fixture set is an accessory for Shimpo force gauge test stands and compatible force gauges that is used for testing the strength of wire/terminal connections. The upper grip consists of a self-aligning wheel that has nine equally spaced slots of different sizes to accommodate a range of terminal shanks. The lower grip secures the wire on one end and is eccentrically mounted and self-tightening. The set has a maximum capacity of 100 lb. (50 kg.). It can accommodate terminal shanks in the following sizes: 0.8 mm (0.0"), 1.2 mm (0.05"), 1.6 mm (0.06"), 1.9 mm (0.08"), 2.6 mm (0.10"), 3.2 mm (0.13"), 4.0 mm (0.16"), 5.0 mm (0.20"), and 6.5 mm (0.26"). The grips have an M6 thread for mounting on a test stand.

Force gauges, also called push-pull gauges or tension gauges, measure the tensile (pull) or compression (push) force applied to an object. They are used to test the strength and functionality of a variety of machines, electronic components, cables, wires, and consumer products in scientific, medical, automotive, quality assurance, and manufacturing applications. A digital force gauge shows the amount of force in digits on the gauge's display. Response time varies among digital force gauges depending on the speed of the processor. An analog (or mechanical) force gauge shows measurements on a calibrated dial. Analog force gauges are not as precise as digital force gauges, but they provide instantaneous measurements and can be used in a wider range of environmental conditions than digital force gauges. Hooks, compression plates, levers, handles, test stands, and other accessories can be used with the gauge for taking measurements on objects with a range of shapes and sizes.
