HMM-Hytech Pinch Force Testers: Precision Instruments for Ergonomic and Safety Testing
HMM-Hytech is the brand for a line of advanced Pinch Force Testers, manufactured in India by Hytech Micro Measurement Private Limited. These handheld instruments are engineered to precisely measure the force exerted by an individual's fingers and thumb. By providing highly accurate data on pinch and grip strength, our testers are essential for a wide range of applications, including ergonomic assessments, rehabilitation programs, and product design, thereby ensuring safety, compliance, and user comfort.
Principles of Pinch Force Measurement
A Pinch Force Tester is a highly specialized force sensor. Its compact design features a load cell or a similar force transducer positioned between two surfaces that the user squeezes. When a person applies a pinch force, the load cell measures the resulting pressure. This force is then converted into a precise electronic signal, which is processed and displayed on a clear, digital screen. Many of our models include a "peak hold" function that captures and displays the maximum force applied during the test.
