Sauter FH-EXT Force Gauge

The Sauter FH-EXT places the load cell away from the display, allowing the sensor to be built into a fixture or positioned where a complete handheld gauge would not fit. The operator can keep the screen within easy reach while the force is applied at the test point.

Peak-hold records the highest force, track mode follows changing loads and programmable limits give visual and audible guidance during repeat checks. A compact statistics function is also available for reviewing stored measurements. Depending on the model, USB and RS-232 connections can be used to pass results to other equipment.

The FH-EXT works well for confined test arrangements, purpose-built fixtures and stand-mounted tension or compression tests. Select the capacity and accessories around the actual test geometry, and confirm the interfaces and supplied fittings for the chosen variant. For stand-mounted work, compare our Force Test Stands and confirm the gauge mounting, load direction, capacity and fixtures.

Applications

Fixture Integration

Build the external cell into a dedicated fixture without burying the display inside the machine.

Restricted Spaces

Place the sensor in a narrow or enclosed area that cannot accommodate a handheld gauge.

Production Checks

Check assembly forces repeatedly against agreed upper and lower limits.

Laboratory Testing

Capture peak loads during short tension or compression events.

Features

External Load Cell

The sensor can sit inside the test fixture while the display stays visible to the operator.

Peak And Track Modes

Peak-hold records the highest force; track mode shows the force changing throughout the test.

Limit Testing

Set an acceptable force band and receive an immediate indication when a result falls outside it.

Model-Specific Interfaces

Interface provision differs between variants, so check the selected model before planning data collection.

FAQs

Why choose an external-load-cell gauge?

It allows the sensor to be positioned in the test fixture independently from the display.

Can the FH-EXT measure tension and compression?

Yes, when the selected load cell and fixtures are installed for the required loading direction.

Are the interfaces identical on every model?

No. Interface provision varies, so confirm the data connections shown for the selected variant.

Are fixtures supplied?

Supplied loops, plates and accessories vary by model; check the selected variant's official data sheet.
