Our mechanical force gauges are high-precision instruments for testing the quality, strength or functionality of components or products. The mechanical force gauges from SAUTER check both compression and tension (pressure and tension). The peak force can be recorded with the needle on the tip indicator, and the tare ring compensates for the weight of the attachments. KERN force gauges consist of a high-performance metal housing and all metal components so that you can maintain your calibration for years with the right care. These mechanical dynamometers never require charging or batteries and are intrinsically safe in hazardous environments.
Every mechanical force gauge contains a selection of tension and compression attachments. Optional compression plates, hooks, and handles provide a variety of ways to grasp and apply force to specimens.
Force testers are available in areas with low capacities up to 10 N or kg with a measurement accuracy of up to ± 0.05 N. High capacity force testers range up to 500 N or kg with a measurement accuracy of up to ± 2.5 N.
SAUTER is certified according to ISO 9001 and every measuring device is calibrated according to an ISO / IEC 17025 accredited laboratory.
The digital force gauges from SAUTER have selectable units, programmable high / low setpoints and output peaks or continuous data for acquisition using optional data acquisition software in USB, RS232, digital and analog formats. The digital measuring devices from SAUTER with low capacity measure ranges up to 10 N, the measuring devices with high capacity measure up to 1000 N and our force measuring device with external measuring cell even measures up to 100000 N. Each set contains a selection of attachments and a hard plastic carrying case .
