Senso 3000 Hydraulic Tool Holder Force Gauge

The SENSO 3000 is a specialized tool for verifying correct operation of hydraulic tool holders. For workholding collet force gauges, please see our ForceCheck collet force gauges.

SENSO 3000 determines the clamping force of the hydraulic chuck via a pressure sensitive plug gauge. The entire length of the plug gauge is clamped in the hydraulic chuck so that when tightening the clamping screw the clamping pressure of the chuck is optimally applied. The clamping force measuring instrument displays the clamping force as an absolute measurement value on the one hand and as a percentage clamping force in relation to a reference value that can be set individually on the other. This way, SENSO 3000 can be adapted to customer specific application conditions and requirements.

The clamping force measuring instrument is supplied with a plug gauge for the respective clamping diameter as well as a carbide proofing bar for calibration purposes and a CR 2430 type battery – all in a sturdy and handy case.

With the ForceCheck collet force gauge, the clamping forces on collets and hydraulic tool holders can be measured to obtain accurate machining specifications while fulfilling ISO standard requirements.

Available in complete sets for 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1, 10 mm, 16 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm and other diameters.

The ForceCheck collet force gauge allows tool holder and workholding collet holding force to be quickly and easily measured.



Because it is problematic to measure, this critical holding force is typically not checked, even though it plays an important role in manufacturing repeatability.



TAC Rockford, makers of the ForceCheck drawbar clamping measurement system, offers a simple, efficient, and consistently accurate collet force measurement unit.



With this system you can accurately and consistently measure the clamping forces on collets and hydraulic tool holders to obtain accurate machining specifications while fulfilling your company's or customer's ISO standard requirements.



Complete sets include a durable display with standard 9 volt battery, connecting cable, carrying case, and measuring bar.



Individual measuring bars for any size diameter are available.
