Sauter FM-M Force Gauge Accessories

Mounting accessories for Sauter FM-M external load-cell force gauges, including AFM 05, AFM 06 and AFM 15 sleeves and AE 08 plate.

FM-M instruments measure through a separate external cell, with models rated from 1 kN to 20 kN. The adapters shown must be checked against the exact load-cell thread, load direction and mechanical capacity. The AE 08 stainless-steel compression plate is rated to 5 kN and is not suitable for 10 kN or 20 kN testing. These mechanical fittings do not replace the load cell or provide a USB-C interface.

FM-M Attachment Selection and Limits

FM-M instruments measure through a separate external cell, with models rated from 1 kN to 20 kN. The adapters shown must be checked against the exact load-cell thread, load direction and mechanical capacity. The AE 08 stainless-steel compression plate is rated to 5 kN and is not suitable for 10 kN or 20 kN testing. These mechanical fittings do not replace the load cell or provide a USB-C interface.

AFM 05 / AFM 06

Reducing sleeves for suitable threaded test-frame and load-cell connections.

AFM 15

Threaded connection adapter; identify the exact internal and external threads.

AE 08 — Compression Plate

Flat plate rated to 5 kN; do not apply higher FM-M loads.

FM-M Accessory Applications

Choose suitable fittings for force-gauge tests and check the manufacturer's connection and maximum load. FM-M instruments measure through a separate external cell, with models rated from 1 kN to 20 kN. The adapters shown must be checked against the exact load-cell thread, load direction and mechanical capacity. The AE 08 stainless-steel compression plate is rated to 5 kN and is not suitable for 10 kN or 20 kN testing. These mechanical fittings do not replace the load cell or provide a USB-C interface.

Measurement Attachments

Reducing sleeves for suitable threaded test-frame and load-cell connections.

Fixture Setup

Threaded connection adapter; identify the exact internal and external threads.

Inspection Work

Flat plate rated to 5 kN; do not apply higher FM-M loads.

Choosing Accessories for Sauter FM-M

Confirm the full force-gauge model, thread, load direction and maximum expected force. The attachment's rated load can be lower than the instrument capacity.

Identify the Exact Gauge

Confirm the complete FE or FM model number, not just the family name.

Check Force Capacity

Use the lower load limit of the gauge, attachment and test fixture.

Match the Connections

Confirm the mounting thread and the correct force direction.

Check Calibration Requirements

Accessories and adjustment do not replace calibration of the full measuring instrument.

Sauter FM-M Accessory FAQs

Important compatibility and loading questions for Sauter FM-M force-gauge accessories.

Can I use these adapters with every FM-M model?

No. Each external cell has its own mounting geometry and load capacity. Check both before ordering.

Is AE 08 safe at 10 kN or 20 kN?

No. KERN rates AE 08 to a maximum of 5 kN.

Do AFM sleeves replace the force sensor?

No. They are mechanical adapters only.

Which data cable should be used?

FM-M provides USB-C and PS/2 interfaces. Confirm an approved compatible cable rather than substituting an older FH/FL lead.
