KERN Digital force gauge FH 10K

KERN Digital Force Gauge FH 10K

The KERN FH 10K is a powerful and reliable digital force gauge designed for high-force tension and compression measurements up to 10,000 N (10 kN). Built with a robust plastic housing and high-resolution display unit, this device offers professional-grade performance for industrial and quality control environments. The turnable backlit display ensures clear visibility from any angle, while integrated functions like peak hold, limit setting, and mini statistics allow precise and efficient operation.

Equipped with standard RS-232 and USB interfaces, the FH 10K supports both data transfer and external power supply, making it suitable for integration into testing systems or standalone operation. Delivered in a rugged carrying case and complete with accessories such as tension loops and compression plates, the FH 10K is ready for immediate use in challenging testing scenarios.
