Pinchgrip Dynamometer:

Home  :  Lode  :  Products

Lode has developed a force measuring system for the fingers, using a special application of modified strain gauge technology. The Lode Pinch grip dynamometer consists of an ergonomically formed measuring beam that is connected to an amplifier. Measured values can be read from a display on the amplifier. The Pinch grip dynamometer can also be connected to a computer; measured values can be read from the screen with the help of a computer programme.

The use of strain gauges is particularly useful because they are not subject to change as a result of differences in temperature or humidity: the ratio of the strains is the same independent of the environments of the system.

The Pinch grip dynamometer is easy to handle and reliable in its measurements. Because of its wide measuring range and accuracy the Pinch grip dynamometer is suitable for research purposes.
 

Specifications:

  • System capable of showing peak force (=highest measured value for more than 5 seconds)
  • Measuring range 0-150N
  • Dimensions
    • beam 98mm x 30mm x 30mm
    • amplifier 280mm x 315mm x 85mm
  • Weight
    • beam 141 gr
    • amplifier 2150 gr
  • Power consumption: 8 VA
 

Options:

Lode has designed a software package that is optionally available with the Pinch grip dynamometer. The package expands the possibilities of the system: it arranges and collects more detailed data on measurements, and data can be immediately connected to patient files.
