Our Expertise in Force Control and Dynamometry
Force measurement is a critical requirement across manufacturing, quality control and research applications. Whether you need to verify the pull-out strength of a zipper seal, test the compression resistance of a tablet, measure the opening force of a child-resistant closure or validate the tensile strength of a weld, the right force measurement instrument ensures your products meet specification before they reach the market.
ACRN offers a complete range of force measurement and dynamometry solutions for industrial quality control. Our product line includes electronic dynamometers, mechanical spring gauges, high-capacity load cells and motorized tension/compression test benches — covering measurement ranges from a few grams to several tonnes.
All instruments are selected and validated for use in production environments and quality laboratories. Our application engineers support you from instrument selection through to calibration, operator training and after-sales service, all handled in France.

Main business sectors
Force measurement is central to packaging quality control in cosmetics.
Typical applications include peel force testing on blister packs and sachets, snap-fit closure verification, pump actuation force measurement and cap removal force testing.
ACRN electronic dynamometers and test benches are used by cosmetics manufacturers and packaging suppliers across Europe to ensure consistent consumer experience and prevent leakage failures.
In pharmaceutical manufacturing, force testing covers tablet hardness and friability, blister seal peel strength, syringe plunger actuation force and medical device assembly verification.
Measurement traceability and documented calibration are mandatory in GMP environments — our instruments are fully compatible with ISO and pharmacopoeial testing requirements.
Tensile and compression testing in the food industry covers a wide range of applications: peel strength of flexible packaging, snap-open force of lids, texture analysis of food products and seal integrity verification.
Our dynamometers and test benches help food producers define and monitor force specifications across their packaging and production lines.
WHY CHOOSE ACRN
Measurement ranges from 0.5 N to 50 kN : Our force measurement range covers micro-force applications in laboratory environments through to high-capacity industrial testing. Electronic dynamometers, mechanical gauges, S-beam load cells and motorized test benches are available to match your application, accuracy class and working environment.
Electronic and mechanical solutions : Not all force measurement applications require digital instruments. ACRN offers both electronic dynamometers with data output and simple mechanical spring gauges for field use — robust, battery-free and requiring no calibration software. The right tool depends on your measurement frequency, traceability requirements and working conditions.
Calibration and traceability : ACRN provides COFRAC-accredited calibration services for force measurement instruments. Full calibration certificates with measurement uncertainty are issued, ensuring compliance with ISO 9001, GMP and sector-specific quality standards.
French manufacturing and expert support : ACRN instruments are developed and assembled in Normandy, France. Our technicians handle after-sales service, repairs and on-site commissioning directly — no third-party subcontracting, no extended lead times.
