Sauter FM-M Force Gauge

Sauter FM-M force gauges use a separate measuring cell for higher-capacity tensile and compressive testing. The external sensor can be installed within a fixture or test frame while the graphic-assisted display remains in a convenient viewing position. Peak-hold captures the maximum result, track mode follows changing force, and programmable limits support repeated comparison tests.

Internal storage for up to 500 readings helps retain measurement results, while USB-C and PS/2 connections support compatible data transfer and device coupling. The range is suited to industrial quality control, component proof testing, research and maintenance applications where the sensor must be positioned independently from the display. Choose the model according to maximum force, readability, loading direction, mounting points and the space available around the test assembly.

Applications

High-Capacity Testing

Measure larger tensile and compression forces within the selected cell's rated capacity.

Fixture Integration

Install the external cell in a test frame or purpose-built assembly.

Industrial Quality Control

Use peak and limit functions for repeated component and proof checks.

Research And Development

Record changing and maximum forces during structured mechanical tests.

Features

External Measuring Cell

The separate sensor can be integrated into a fixture while the display remains accessible.

Graphic-Assisted Display

The screen supports clear viewing of live force, peak results, limits and available range.

500-Value Memory

Internal storage retains up to 500 readings for organised result handling.

USB-C And PS/2

Standard connections support compatible data transfer and device coupling.

FAQs

Does the FM-M have an external load cell?

Yes. The measuring cell is separate from the display and is supplied for the selected capacity.

Can it store results?

Yes. Internal memory can retain up to 500 measurement values.

Which interfaces are available?

The current FM range provides USB-C and PS/2 connections for compatible equipment.

How should I select a model?

Choose by maximum force, readability, force direction, mounting and the intended fixture.
