digitalportablecompact

Overview
The DFX3 is a precision digital force gauge engineered to deliver reliable, accurate, and efficient force measurement for production, quality control, and field testing. Designed for ease of use and fast adoption, it supports handheld operation or mounting on test stands and provides traceable, repeatable results with minimal setup.

Key Capabilities
The Chatillon DFX3 Series supports multiple capacities and units of measure, offers on-gauge data storage, and includes features to reduce operator error and protect the instrument:

• Available capacities: 10 lbf, 50 lbf, 100 lbf, and 200 lbf
• Selectable measurement units: ozf, gf, lbf, kgf, and N
• Full-color LCD showing real-time and peak force readings
• Dynamic color-coded load bar for quick visual feedback
• On-gauge storage for 100 timestamped readings
• Mechanical overload protection up to 150% of full scale

Customer Value Highlights

• Minimize downtime with up to 40 hours of battery life—ideal for long shifts and field use
• Improve decision-making with real-time and peak readings on a full-color display
• Enhance traceability via on-unit storage of timestamped readings
• Reduce operator error through a dynamic color-coded load bar
• Protect your investment with mechanical overload protection (to 150% FS)
• Support global teams with selectable units and optional NIST-certified calibration

Adaptable Applications
The DFX3 Series is suitable for a broad range of force testing tasks, including:

• Button press and switch activation testing
