The Force sensor BT42i measures pushing and pulling forces. It uses strain gauge technology. The sensor has two measurement ranges, which can be selected using a switch.

Range: -5 ... 5N, -50 ... 50 N.
Resolution (12-bit): 0.003 N, 0.03 N

Includes: a thumbscrew, a utility handle, a bumper and a hook.

Can be used to:
• replace a hand-held spring scale, can be
• mounted on a ring stand or on a dynamics cart to study collisions.
• measure of centripetal or frictional forces, study Newton’s laws, investigate static and kinetic friction.
