Aikoh – Force Measurement and Mechanical Testing Equipment for Precision Manufacturing

Aikoh and Its Foundations in Mechanical Force Measurement

Aikoh Engineering is a Japanese company specializing in force measurement and mechanical testing equipment, with a development history closely aligned with the increasingly strict quality control requirements of modern manufacturing. From its early years, Aikoh has focused on fundamental measurements such as tensile force, compressive force, torque, and mechanical response—key factors that directly affect product safety and durability.

Rather than expanding broadly into multiple measurement fields, Aikoh has pursued a specialized approach: refining measurement accuracy, stability, and repeatability in mechanical force testing. This direction has enabled the company to maintain a solid position among manufacturers of mechanically focused testing equipment with a clear engineering orientation.

Force Measurement as the Core of Product Development Philosophy

Within Aikoh’s product ecosystem, force measurement is not treated as a single, isolated function but as the foundation for a wide range of tests used in manufacturing and research. Aikoh’s equipment is designed to accurately capture applied forces under real operating conditions, from manual handling to mechanical assembly processes.

These force measurement devices support evaluations of load capacity, operating force, breaking force, and opening–closing force of components, helping manufacturers determine whether products meet design requirements and technical standards.

Expanding Measurement Scope: From Linear Force to Torque and Mechanical Feedback

Beyond tensile and compressive force, Aikoh has developed torque measurement solutions to support testing of rotating components, transmission mechanisms, and fastening elements. This type of measurement is especially critical in industries where even small deviations in torque can significantly affect product lifespan and operational safety.

In addition, Aikoh places strong emphasis on mechanical feedback measurement, enabling evaluation of operating feel and force response during product use. This group of equipment is commonly applied in tests related to operational experience, mechanical interaction, and smoothness of motion in moving mechanisms.

Product Category Structure Based on Functional Application

Aikoh’s equipment portfolio is structured around practical testing needs rather than machine types or mechanical construction:

• Tensile and Compression Force Measurement Equipment: Used to measure and evaluate forces applied to materials, components, and mechanical structures under various test conditions.

• Load Cells and Force Measuring Units: Serve as core components within force measurement systems, ensuring accurate and stable signal output during testing.

• Torque Measurement Equipment: Designed to test torsional force, transmission efficiency, and stability of rotating parts and mechanical assemblies.

• Mechanical Feedback and Operating Feel Evaluation Equipment: Used to assess mechanical response and force behavior during operation, supporting evaluation of product handling quality.

• Mechanical Durability Testing Equipment: Support repeated load testing to evaluate service life and long-term performance of components and materials.

• Fixtures and Testing Accessories: Provide sample fixation and extend the applicability of force measurement equipment across a wide range of test scenarios.

This functional classification clearly reflects Aikoh’s development philosophy: every device is designed to serve a specific testing objective within the quality control process.
