SHIMPO

SHIMPO is a Japanese manufacturer of precision measurement instruments, with a history dating back to 1952 when the company was founded in Kyoto, Japan. The brand is recognized globally for its force gauges, stroboscopes, and tachometers, which are used in industrial quality control, maintenance, and production environments. SHIMPO's product families include digital and analog force gauges (such as the FGE and FGV series), handheld and panel-mount tachometers (including the DT-205LR and DT-207LR models), and stroboscopes (like the DT-735-KIT). These instruments are designed for applications requiring accurate measurement of rotational speed, force, or motion analysis. SHIMPO instruments typically feature digital displays, selectable measurement units, and data output capabilities for integration with external systems. The force gauges are available in various capacities and include accessories such as grips, adapters, and plates for different testing configurations. Tachometers offer contact and non-contact measurement modes, with resolution down to 0.1 rpm or fpm. Stroboscopes provide flash rates from 60 to 12,000 fpm, suitable for visual inspection of moving machinery. Build quality emphasizes durability for shop-floor use, with many models featuring rubberized housings and protective cases. 3G Electric stocks over 100 SKUs of SHIMPO products, including instruments and accessories, with datasheets available for technical review. The range covers force gauge grips (fine point, film, compression plates), tachometer accessories (contact adapters, extension shafts, cone tip adapters), and stroboscope kits. 3G Electric provides logistics support for global shipping, enabling procurement specialists and engineers to source SHIMPO instruments for applications in manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and general industrial maintenance. The product line is supported by technical documentation that specifies compatibility, measurement ranges, and physical dimensions, allowing buyers to select the correct instrument or accessory for their measurement tasks.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about SHIMPO from 3G Electric.

What is the measurement range of the SHIMPO DT-735-KIT stroboscope?

The SHIMPO DT-735-KIT stroboscope has a flash rate range of 60 to 12,000 fpm (flashes per minute). Resolution is 0.1 fpm from 60 to 6,000 fpm, and 1 fpm from 6,001 to 12,000 fpm. It features an LED digital display and includes an external trigger input for synchronization with other equipment. The unit does not include a certificate of calibration.

Which SHIMPO force gauge models are compatible with the FG-M4FPG8 fine point grip?

The SHIMPO FG-M4FPG8 fine point grip is compatible with the FGV series force gauges. It has an overall length of 1 3/5 inches and is designed for applications requiring a pointed contact surface for force measurement on small or recessed areas. The grip attaches to the force gauge's threaded mounting point.

What is the difference between the SHIMPO DT-ADP-200LR contact adapter and the CONE cone tip adapter?

The SHIMPO DT-ADP-200LR contact adapter is a general-purpose accessory for handheld tachometers, compatible with the DT-207LR model, and measures 2 1/2 inches in length and 2 inches in width. The CONE cone tip adapter is a specialized tip with a rubber tip, also for the DT-207LR, measuring 3/4 inch in length and 1/2 inch in width. The cone tip is used for measuring rotational speed on shafts with a center hole or recess.

Can the SHIMPO FGE-2XY digital force gauge use the FG-M6ADP-AL adapter set?

Yes, the SHIMPO FG-M6ADP-AL adapter set is specifically designed for use with the FGE-2XY digital force gauge. This adapter set allows connection of various force gauge accessories or fixtures to the gauge. It is an aluminum adapter set that facilitates compatibility with different test setups.

What is the overall width of the SHIMPO FG-M10COMP100U compression plate?

The SHIMPO FG-M10COMP100U compression plate has an overall width of 4 inches. It is compatible with the FGE Series and FGV series force gauges. This plate is used for compression testing, providing a flat surface to apply force to test specimens.

Is the SHIMPO EXT-SHAFT extension shaft compatible with the DT-205LR-S12 tachometer?

Yes, the SHIMPO EXT-SHAFT extension shaft is compatible with the DT-205LR-S12 handheld tachometer. It measures 3 1/2 inches in length and 1/2 inch in width. This accessory extends the reach of the tachometer for measuring rotational speed in hard-to-access locations.
