External Load Cell • USB & RS-232 • 0.5% Accuracy • Up to 100 kN

Universal Digital Force Measurement with Advanced Connectivity

The Sauter FH-M Series is a robust and flexible force gauge designed for precise tensile and compressive force testing in industrial and laboratory environments. Equipped with an external load cell, backlit rotatable display, and both USB and RS-232 connectivity, it supports advanced measurement workflows and data transfer with ease.

Ideal for high-capacity testing up to 100,000 N (100 kN), the FH-M offers peak hold, real-time tracking, tolerance limit alerts, and optional calibration certificates. Supplied with compression plates, tension hooks, and housed in a durable carry case, it’s a complete solution for demanding applications.
