KERN Digital force gauge FH 20

KERN Digital Force Gauge FH 20

The KERN FH 20 is a precision digital force gauge engineered for highly accurate tension and compression measurements up to 20 N. With a fine resolution of 0.01 N and a fast measuring frequency of 2 kHz, it ensures reliable data capture even in dynamic testing environments. Its compact plastic housing, intuitive turnable display, and modern interface options make it ideal for laboratory, quality control, and field applications.

Designed to integrate seamlessly with all SAUTER test stands up to 5 kN, the FH 20 offers peak and continuous (Track) measurement modes, limit-setting alarms, and a mini statistics function. Whether you’re performing force verification in research or component testing in production, this unit provides a powerful, portable, and user-friendly solution.
