Sauter FC Force Gauge

Sauter FC Force Gauge

Sauter FC force gauges provide compact digital measurement of tensile and compressive forces for quality checks, assembly testing and production inspection. The internal load cell, robust metal housing and reversible backlit display allow the instrument to be used by hand or fitted to a compatible Sauter test stand, while track and peak-hold modes support both continuous observation and capture of the highest force reached.

Programmable upper and lower limits give operators clear visual and audible guidance during repeat tests, and the internal memory stores results for later review. USB connectivity supports transfer to a computer for compatible data-recording workflows, making the FC range useful where portable push/pull testing must be combined with organised result handling. Select the capacity and attachments to suit the expected force, sample shape and direction of loading.

Applications

Quality Checks

Check whether an operating force falls inside an agreed upper and lower limit.

Overload Monitoring

Capture the maximum force needed to open, close, press or release a component.

Bench Testing

Mount the gauge on a test stand when alignment and loading speed need better control.

Recorded Results

Store repeated readings for review instead of recording every result by hand.

Features

Overload Warning

An audible and visual warning alerts the operator if the applied load exceeds 110% of capacity.

Tolerance Limits

Set upper and lower force limits for a quick indication during repeated push or pull tests.

USB Interface

The supplied USB cable connects the gauge to a computer for compatible data transfer.

Metal Housing

The metal body is better suited to regular workshop use than a lightweight plastic housing.
