About these units
The newton is the SI unit of force, the force that accelerates one kilogram at one meter per second squared. Load cells and test machines report in newtons.
The pound-force is the US customary force unit, the weight of one pound of mass under standard gravity. Press and clamp ratings in the US are quoted in pounds-force or tons.
