KERN Digital force gauge FH 50

KERN Digital Force Gauge FH 50

The KERN FH 50 is a precision digital force gauge developed for accurate tension and compression force measurements up to 50 N. Equipped with a high-resolution display, user-friendly controls, and robust data capabilities, it is ideal for both laboratory and industrial environments. The unit supports mounting on all SAUTER test stands up to 5 kN and comes with essential accessories and a durable carrying case for ease of transport and setup.

The FH 50 features selectable units (N, kgf, lbf), a turnable backlit display, limit-setting function, and a USB/RS-232 interface for easy data handling. Its mini statistics kit and peak-hold functionality enhance operational flexibility and measurement precision.
