To measure pushing force, you'd typically use a force gauge, also known as a push-pull gauge or a force meter. These devices use a spring mechanism that stretches or compresses when a force is applied, and the amount of stretch/compression is displayed on a scale or digitally. Forces are measured in Newtons (N).

Here's a more detailed breakdown: Force Gauge:

This is the primary tool for measuring push or pull forces.

Push-Pull Force Gauge:

As the name suggests, these gauges are designed to measure both pushing and pulling forces.

How it works:

The gauge has a spring mechanism that is compressed or stretched when a force is applied. The amount of compression or stretch corresponds to the force being applied.

Measurement:

The force is typically displayed in Newtons (N) or other units of force, such as pounds.

Digital vs. Mechanical:

You can have digital force gauges with digital displays or mechanical force gauges with analog scales.

Applications:

These gauges are used in various industries for testing, quality control, and research.

How to use:

Simply place the force gauge's tip at the point where you want to measure the force and apply the pushing force.
