Imada

Imada is a Japanese manufacturer specializing in force and torque measurement instruments, founded in 1946 and headquartered in Toyohashi, Japan. The company produces digital force gauges, motorized test stands, push-pull testers, durometer hardness testers, and wire crimp testers used extensively in quality control, production line inspection, and materials testing. Imada instruments are valued for their precision, repeatability, and practical design suited to both laboratory and production floor environments.

Imada's digital force gauges cover a wide measurement range from grams to kilonewtons, with models offering USB, RS-232, and analog outputs for data acquisition. Their motorized test stands provide consistent crosshead speed for repeatable tensile and compression tests. The durometer hardness tester line — including auto-loading models for Shore A, B, C, and D scales — is widely used for rubber, elastomer, and plastic hardness verification.
