KERN Digital force gauge FH 2

KERN Digital Force Gauge FH 2

The KERN FH 2 is an ultra-sensitive digital force gauge designed for precision force measurements with exceptional accuracy. With a maximum measuring range of 2 N and a fine readability of 0.001 N, this model is ideal for applications requiring extremely low-force detection. Its compact design, high measuring frequency, and rich feature set make it an essential tool in laboratories, quality control environments, and precision mechanics.

Equipped with a turnable backlit display, the FH 2 ensures easy reading in various working positions. It supports both USB and RS-232 interfaces for real-time data transfer and power supply. The integrated Peak-Hold and Track functions allow users to capture peak force values or continuously monitor force in real time. With a programmable limit-setting function, the unit provides visual and acoustic alerts when predefined force thresholds are reached.

This model includes standard attachments and a robust carrying case, making it both field-ready and ideal for stationary use on SAUTER test stands up to 5 kN.
