Hoggan ergoFET™ Digital Force Gauge

The HOGGAN wireless ergoFET™ is a digital 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 force gauge eliminates cables, cords, and wires. This cost-effective and ergonomically handheld design makes testing easier and more closely simulates actual job tasks for one hand test applications. Major corporations in automotive, aerospace, and consumer products industries have applied this proven technology for their ergonomic applications.

Includes: Wireless ergoFET 500, push attachments (flat pad, curved pad, and digit pad), pull attachments (open end stationary hook and snap hook, 16 inch strap with D rings, one hand handle, 4 inch extension post and adapter base), wall pack power supply, calibration certificate, and carrying case. 1 year standard warranty is included, with extended warranties available.

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.
