Simple and precise digital force measurements for mechanics labs
Take force measurements fast, clean, and student-friendly with a rugged digital scale that reads in real time. The Digital Newton Meter measures both pushes and pulls at any angle, giving learners an immediate feel for how forces act in the world—without the bounce and uncertainty of spring scales.
With a wide 0.01–20.00 N range and clear digital resolution, it’s ideal for core mechanics labs like Newton’s laws, friction, tension, weight vs. mass, and vector addition of forces. Switch between Newtons and grams to match the level of your course or the style of your lab.
Why Teachers Love the Digital Newton Meter
- Measures push and pull forces: Great for real setups—springs, carts, pulleys, friction blocks, and more.
- Quick, precise, no-guess readings: Digital display with 0.01 N resolution makes data easy to capture and reliable.
- Built-in classroom features: Zero/tare adjustment and a hold function help students record stable values.
- Dual units for flexibility: Toggle between Newtons (N) and grams (g) for force or weight-style activities.

What You Can Teach with the Digital Newton Meter
Use from middle school through AP/Honors and introductory college mechanics for:
- Newton’s Laws: Measure net force vs. acceleration using carts or dynamics tracks.
- Friction: Find static/kinetic friction forces and compare surfaces.
- Tension & Pulley Systems: Quantify tension in single or multi-pulley setups.
- Weight vs. Mass: Read “weight” directly in grams mode, then relate to Fg=mg.
- Vectors / Force Tables: Use multiple meters to verify vector addition and equilibrium.
At-Home / Non-Educational Uses
Beyond the classroom, the Digital Newton Meter is handy anywhere you want a simple, accurate force check. Hobbyists and makers can use it to compare spring tension, measure pull strength in DIY mechanisms, test small elastic bands or bungees, or verify the force needed to move lightweight objects with low friction. It’s also useful for quick home experiments—like checking how different materials change friction or seeing how much force a toy launcher or rubber band can deliver—without needing lab equipment.
