Hoggan ergoFET™ 500 Digital Push/Pull Force Gauge
The HOGGAN wireless ergoFET™ 500 is a digital universal force gauge that empowers ergonomic, engineering, and safety professionals to objectively measure and quantify human and product performance. This capability yields improved product functionality, quality, and manufacturing efficiency, while reducing costs associated with cycle time and repetitive motion injuries. The wireless ergoFET 500 is excellent for job site and ergonomic analysis, NIOSH (The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) whole body or job specific static strength testing, or for any force measurement at the job site.
The wireless enabled ergoFET 500 eliminates cables, cords, and wires. The ergoFET 500 force gauge is a cost-effective, durable, and easy to use push and pull force gauge designed for a wide variety of force measurement applications. It measures peak force and timed 3-second average force when required. With two operating test modes, and four selectable threshold settings, the ergoFET 500 is a highly versatile force gauge for any industrial measurement application. Available FET Data Collection software is compatible with Windows operating systems XP or newer.

Optional FET Data Collection Software Package
This digital universal force gauge program is designed for research and education applications. The program simultaneously captures raw test data while displaying a real-time graph of the data. The data is saved in comma-separated values (CSV) format and can be opened in most spreadsheet programs for further analysis. Software is compatible with Windows operating systems XP or newer.
