TMS measurement systems—calibrated, portable units—are used in laboratories, plants, and machines to measure tensile and compressive forces. Battery operation allows for self-contained use on-site at the measurement location. The force measurement systems come standard in a carrying case and with a calibration certificate. Unpack—turn on—measure. The plug-and-play solution for occasional measurement and verification of forces and loads.

Testing Device for Compress. Forces

Series: TMS1 (MMD)

for Compression Forces up to 20 kN

The Test & Measurement force measuring system TMS1 as a calibrated measuring unit is suitable for measuring and displaying pressure forces in laboratories, machines and plants. Due to the very compact design of the force transducer MMD, forces up to 5 kN can be measured reliably even in confined spaces. The display unit DHZ21, which is permanently connected to the force transducer by cable, supplies the force transducer with energy and displays the applied force directly in N or kN.

Testing Device for Compress. Forces

Series: TMS2 (MDP)

for Compression Forces up to 100 kN

The Test & Measurement force measuring system TMS2 as a calibrated measuring unit is suitable for measuring and displaying medium to high compression forces in laboratories, machines and plants. Due to the compact design of the force transducer MDP, forces up to 100 kN can be measured reliably even in confined spaces. Due to the compact design of the force transducer MDP, forces up to 100 kN can be measured reliably even in confined spaces. The display unit DHZ21, which is permanently connected to the force transducer by cable, supplies the force transducer with energy and displays the applied force directly in N or kN.

Force Measurement System for Compressive and Tensile Forces

Series: TMS3 (ZDA)

for tensile and compressive forces up to 50 kN

The Test & Measurement force measuring system TMS4 as a calibrated measuring unit is suitable for measuring and displaying tension and compression forces in laboratories, machines and plants. Due to the compact design of the force transducer ZDA, tension and compression forces up to 50 kN can be measured reliably even in confined spaces. The mobile handheld display unit DHZ21, which is permanently connected to the force transducer by cable, supplies the force transducer with energy and displays the applied force directly in N or kN.

Force Measurement System for Compressive and Tensile Forces

Baureihe: TMS4 (MSY)

for tensile and compressive forces up to 5 kN

The Test & Measurement force measuring system TMS4 as a calibrated measuring unit is suitable for measuring and displaying tension and compression forces in laboratories, machines and plants. Due to the very compact design of the miniature force transducer MSY, tension and compression forces up to 5 kN can be measured reliably even in confined spaces. The mobile handheld display unit DHZ21, which is permanently connected to the force transducer by cable, supplies the force transducer with energy and displays the applied force directly in N or kN.

Force Measurement System for Compressive and Tensile Forces

Series: TMS5 (FPK)

for tensile and compressive forces up to 500 kN

The Test & Measurement force measuring system TMS5 as a calibrated measuring unit is suitable for measuring and displaying tension and compression forces in laboratories, machines and plants. Due to the very compact design of the flat profile (pancake) force transducer FPK, tension and compression forces up to 500 kN can be measured reliably even in confined spaces. The mobile handheld display unit DHZ21, which is permanently connected to the force transducer by cable, supplies the force transducer with energy and displays the applied force directly in N or kN.

Testing Device for Compress. Forces

Series: TMS6 (MDW)

for Compression Forces up to 350 kN

The Test & Measurement force measuring system TMS6 as a calibrated measuring unit is suitable for measuring and displaying medium to high compression forces in laboratories, machines and plants. Due to the compact design of the force transducer MDW, forces up to 350 kN can be measured reliably even in confined spaces. The display unit DHZ21, which is permanently connected to the force transducer by cable, supplies the force transducer with energy and displays the applied force directly in N or kN.

Testing Device for Welding Guns

Type: TMS-SZ

for Compression Forces up to 20 kN

These force transducers are characterised by their small sizes which makes them perfect for installation in narrow spaces. They need only a flat surface as a base. Force is introduced via a convex area in the centre that does not mind minor tilting. Fixing holes (only for type 1) on the underside provide secure fixing in the application.

Introduction to Force Measurement Systems

verschiedene TMS Gruppen

Definition and Basic Functioning

TMS force measurement systems are calibrated, portable measuring units designed to measure tensile and compressive forces. They are battery-powered, enabling self-contained operation directly at the measurement site. The systems are delivered ready for use in a carrying case, including a calibration certificate, and can be used immediately without any complicated installation (“Unpack – turn on – measure”). Depending on the model, variants are available for different force ranges as well as for compression-only or combined tension/compression measurements.

Typical Applications

Mobile force measurement systems are used wherever forces need to be measured or verified quickly, reliably, and flexibly. Typical applications include:

  • Quality Assurance
  • Maintenance and Service Calls
  • Commissioning of Machinery and Equipment
  • Periodic testing of forces and loads
  • Testing Laboratories
  • Manufacturing and Production Areas
  • On-site mobile measurements at the customer’s location or at the facility


Thanks to their portability, immediate operational readiness, and reproducible measurement results, these systems are particularly well-suited for measurement tasks that do not require a permanent installation and involve minimal preparation.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What types of forces can be measured using TMS force measurement systems?

Depending on the model, these force measurement systems are suitable for measuring tensile forces, compressive forces, or combined tensile and compressive forces. A variety of measurement ranges allow them to be used in a wide range of industrial and testing applications.

Yes. All systems are calibrated, come with a calibration certificate, and are shipped in a carrying case. Thanks to the plug-and-play design, you can start using the system right after unpacking it—without any complicated installation or configuration.

These systems are suitable for use in testing laboratories, manufacturing, maintenance and service work, and during the commissioning of machines and equipment. Because they are battery-powered, measurements can be taken flexibly right on site.

Yes. Upon request, we supply force measurement systems with custom force ranges, special load cell geometries, or customized mechanical and electrical designs. Together, we’ll develop a solution that’s optimally tailored to your measurement needs.

Every force measurement system is calibrated before shipment and comes with a calibration certificate. This ensures that you receive reproducible and reliable measurement results and can use the system immediately for testing and measurement tasks.
