Arbor Press force measurement...
(OP)
i am looking for a way to measure the force it takes to "light press" fit several small parts into one another. we typically use 1/2 ton arbor presses. that should give you an idea of the smallness our our products.
basically, i want to squeeze a plastic post into a plastic hole and i want to know how much force it takes to do it. i think a "load cell" of some kind could be used but i treading on new territory. any simpler methods?
thank-you,

possibly one could be rigged for a cylinder small enough for your need.

Force = Pressure x Area
The area would be the cross sectional area of your bore
Area=(pi*d^2)/4
So if you have a three inch bore and you apply 200 psi to it, then the force is:
Force= (200)(3.14*3^2)/4 = 1413 lbf
