- Hand fitting design and light weight ideal for stable measurement even for handheld use
- Great portability with long battery life (lasts 30 hours continuously at max with backlight off), and various charging methods (charges from a PC or a mobile battery)
- Easy data management using supplied software Force Logger via USB connection to PC
- Mechanical stopper for overload prevention (up to 50N range)
- Assists management of force gauges with calibration schedule reminder showing a message 30 days in advance from the set schedule
- In capacity up to 1000N, handling a wide range of force testing
DST has excellent cost-performance.
You can use it for both tension and compression. You can switch real-time measurement and peak-hold measurement. It equips OK judgement or reversible indication functions for greater usability.
- Imada DST digital force gauges are simple-to-use basic gauges featuring user-friendly menu operation. Selections including unit and measuring mode can be locked to prevent accidental changes.
- The large backlit LCD display can be configured in basic format to show value, unit and measuring mode or multi-line format to display peak and real time values simultaneously. Additional features include reversible display and high/low setpoints with OK indicator for Go/No Go testing.
- The gauges have a 30,000/sec ultra-high sampling rate. Collect the data via USB or RS-232 connections with the optional Force Logger or SW-1X software.
- DST gauges are powered by rechargeable Ni-MH batteries or the AC adapter/charger. The batteries are user replaceable and can also be charged using USB ports or USB portable chargers.
- All DST gauges are sold as kits complete with gauge, carrying case, six attachments and AC adapter/charger.
Easier Management.
Connect maximum 4 pcs of DST to PC at the same time, can record acquired data, date, OK judgement.
* You need a dedicated optional software for this.
Safety Measure
You can prevent DST from sensor breakdown due to mechanical stopper. – DST-2N/5N/20N/50N has mechanical stopper for overload preventing.
* You cannot prevent overload in some cases
Longer Battery Life
Battery life lasts 30 hours at maximum when its backlight is off. You can charge it from a PC or a mobile battery.

*1 These are the specifications for International model. Note that the available units are different from Japanese domestic model and
international one. kN is available at 1000N, mN and gf is available at 2N and 5N ranges.
*2 You cannot use Continuous peak mode when the measurement does not reach 10% of the force gauge’s capacity. Instead, use Peak
mode. Continuous peak mode could not fit enough for measurement with a shock such as break tests. Contact us for further details.
*3 The weights are slightly different by the model.
