Sauter FH-M Force Gauge

Sauter FH-M Force Gauge

The Sauter FH-M is built for higher-force testing with an external load cell. The sensor can be installed in a frame or purpose-made fixture while the display remains accessible, which is often safer and easier when testing large components or working at several kilonewtons.

Peak-hold captures the maximum load and track mode shows the force as it changes. Programmable upper and lower limits are useful for repeated production checks, giving the operator a clear indication when a result falls outside the required band.

Models are available for both tensile and compression work, with load cells and fittings that vary by capacity. Before choosing a version, consider the maximum force, required readability, loading direction and how the sensor will be fixed into the test arrangement.

Applications

Structural Components

Pull-test structural or mechanical components using a properly aligned fixture.

Industrial Quality Control

Check compression loads with a plate or tool matched to the item under test.

Test Frame Integration

Keep the display outside a guarded frame while the sensor remains at the loading point.

Maintenance Testing

Measure operating or proof forces on machinery without trying to hold the complete gauge in line.

Features

External Load Cell

The high-capacity cell mounts in the test frame while the display remains at the operator’s position.

Peak And Track Modes

Switch between peak-hold and track mode according to whether the maximum or changing force matters.

Tolerance Limits

Set upper and lower limits when the same component must be checked repeatedly.

High-Force Range

Kilonewton capacities cover work beyond the range of an integrated handheld sensor.
