KERN Digital force gauge FH 100K

KERN Digital Force Gauge FH 100K

The KERN FH 100K is a robust and high-capacity digital force gauge engineered for precise measurement of very high tension and compression forces up to 100 kN. Designed for demanding industrial environments, this device combines a powerful external sensor with a user-friendly digital display featuring a turnable backlit screen. With advanced data interfaces, limit-setting capabilities, and built-in statistical analysis, the FH 100K is ideal for both field and laboratory applications where strength, reliability, and measurement accuracy are essential.

Thanks to its rugged plastic housing, intuitive control interface, and extensive connectivity options, this gauge provides fast, accurate, and repeatable measurements even under extreme conditions. Delivered with standard tension loops and compression plates in a protective carrying case, it’s ready for immediate professional use.
