PCE Instruments PCE-4PCFM 4-point clamping force gauge up to 30 kN with touch screen, data printing, USB memory and precise load distribution adjustment
(Incl. Tax: €28,158.88)
Four-point torque meter, ideal for large clamps. It simultaneously records the pressing force up to 30 kN with a resolution of 1 kg and an uncertainty of 0.5% FS. The color touch display shows values for each individual sensor, total, and percentages. The adjustable measurement points ensure precise control of force distribution. Battery-powered, it includes a printer and USB memory to efficiently document and calibrate equipment.
The clamping force measuring device is a precision instrument designed to monitor and optimize the distribution of clamping force applied by handling clamps on delicate or bulky loads. Equipped with four independent sensors, it enables simultaneous and localized measurement of pressure up to 30 kN, with 1 kg resolution and 0.5% FS accuracy, ensuring reliable and repeatable analysis. The system is integrated into a mobile frame with a color touchscreen display, which shows both individual and total forces, also as percentages, in kg, N, kN, or lb.

Thanks to adjustable measuring points, the device adapts to various clamp geometries, ensuring uniform force application and minimizing the risk of product damage. The battery-powered operation allows complete portability, while the built-in thermal printer and USB data storage enable easy result documentation for traceability, calibration, or periodic inspections. Custom thresholds can be set for each point or total force value; any deviations are clearly indicated via visual alerts, allowing the operator to react promptly.
Ideal for logistics, industrial handling, and home appliance manufacturing, this measuring solution enhances grip optimization, supports process safety, and helps reduce waste and rework.
