The TSFM500 is designed for
compression and tension testing of springs, packaging, metals, fabrics, and
other items requiring up to 500 lb of force. Generous clearance and throat depth
accommodate a broad range of sample shapes and sizes. The stand features a
remote control unit for added safety during testing. The TSFM500’s durable and
rigid column minimizes bend, making it particularly well suited for precision
spring testing.
The operator can select from a speed range of 0.2 – 5.5
in/min. Other features include a manual fine adjustment knob and a stepper
motor that prevents speed variation with load, making testing more precise and
repeatable. Use any Mark-10 force gauge and force gripping fixtures to create a
complete testing solution.
Available in vertical and horizontal
orientations.

Horizontal / wall mounting kit Set of mounting legs that attach to the test stand column in place of the base
Set point / overload protection cable
Stops test stand travel at programmable high and
low set points for tension and compression forces. Also protects the force gauge against
accidental overloads during motorized tests. Compatible with Series 5 and Series 4 force gauges. Can be used simultaneously with the USB data output cable supplied with the gauge.

Ordering Information)
Mark-10 force gauges with data output include a USB cable, which can be connected directly to a PC.
If the TSF001 digital travel display option is ordered and connection to a PC is desired, the following cables and adapters are required:
Travel display (Mitutoyo) <=> 09-1066 cable, Mitutoyo <=> MRS100A converter, Mitutoyo to RS-232 <=> RSU100 converter, RS-232 to USB (optional)
