{"product_id":"mark-10-es10-es20-manual-force-test-stand","title":"Mark-10 ES10 \/ ES20 Manual Force Test Stand","description":"\u003cp\u003eA hand-held force gauge measures whatever force the operator's hand applies. Mounting the same gauge in a test stand removes the operator from the loading path, which is usually the single biggest improvement available to a force measurement. The Mark-10 ES10 and ES20 are the economical way to do that: the same compact 100 lbF (500 N) stand with 9\" (229 mm) of travel, differing only in how the crosshead is driven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLever or Hand Wheel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eES10\u003c\/strong\u003e is lever operated, with three lever positions, and advances 1.050\" (26.7 mm) per revolution. It suits quick-action tension and compression tests where speed of cycling matters more than rate control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eES20\u003c\/strong\u003e is hand wheel operated and advances 0.083\" (2.1 mm) per revolution — roughly twelve times finer. It suits slower tests that need consistent, controllable loading rate: spring rate, delicate samples, anything where the approach to the peak must be measured rather than simply reached.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything else — capacity, travel, base plate, weight, gauge compatibility — is identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeasuring Displacement\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptional dial and digital indicator kits display up to 1\" (25 mm) of crosshead travel, at .001\" and .0005\"\/0.01 mm resolution respectively. That converts the stand from a force fixture into a rudimentary force-versus-distance setup, which is what spring rate work requires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Mark-10 force gauge mounts to these stands, from \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mark-10-series-2-digital-force-gauge\"\u003eSeries 2\u003c\/a\u003e through \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mark-10-series-7-professional-digital-force-gauge\"\u003eSeries 7\u003c\/a\u003e, as does the full Mark-10 grip and fixture range.
