KERN digital force gauge FS

The KERN FS digital force gauge is an innovative solution for precise tension and compression force measurements in industrial and laboratory environments. The optional expandability to up to four external measuring cells as well as the smooth change between internal and external measuring cell clearly sets this device apart from conventional measuring systems. Experts particularly appreciate the ability to quickly combine different force sensors with each other without compromising on measuring accuracy or stability. Similar features to the [Sauter FH] ensure that even complex measurement procedures can be carried out with confidence and that users always receive high-resolution and reliable data acquisition.

Detailed description

Thanks to the 3.5″touchscreen, settings can be made quickly and measured values can be displayed clearly. This is particularly useful in demanding laboratory or industrial environments, where short set-up times and quick setup are essential. In addition to the integrated measuring cell (up to max. 500 N), the FS offers the option of connecting four external measuring channels. This means that a wide variety of load set-ups or test series can be managed with just one device. For example, the internal 500 N measuring cell can perform a tensile test on small parts, while the external sensors are used for more complex compressive force measurements.

Of particular note is the sensitive strain gauge in the optional sensors, which allows two-point adjustment with weights or numerical adjustment. This flexibility makes it easier to adapt to the required measuring ranges and ensures consistent measurement performance in changing application scenarios. The specific data of an external sensor is stored directly in the connector, allowing automatic recognition by the measuring device. The FS also offers a USB interface that can be used to transfer measurements, program the device and ensure the power supply. The internal SD card memory rounds off the mobile data acquisition.For professional documentation and evaluation, users can freely choose between SI units such as kg, N, kN, Nm and kNm. The tolerance function allows limit values to be set, making in-process quality checks much easier. The TRACK function also enables continuous measurements, which can play a decisive role in endurance tests for series components, for example. An integrated peak value measurement ensures that short-term load peaks are reliably recorded and analyzed in real time. In addition, the FS can be mounted on various SAUTER test benches to implement sophisticated measurement series in the field of materials testing.Key technical data in a compact overview:
– Measuring ranges with internal measuring cell: up to 500 N
– Resolution: from 0.005 N, depending on the model
– 2 or 4 measuring channels for external sensors
– Storage of sensor data directly in the connector
– 3.5″-touchscreen for convenient operation
– Internal SD card memory for secure data backup
– Universal USB interface for data transfer and power supply

The robust design in the high-quality system case (systainer T-LOC) guarantees safe transportation and protects the device during mobile use. In addition to the force tester, the scope of delivery includes a plug-in power supply and a USB cable (type C). This means that scientists, technicians and laboratory staff are ideally equipped to carry out their measuring tasks reliably. The uncomplicated installation and quick setup enable an intuitive start, even when frequently changing measurement tasks are involved.

Certifications and standards

The FS complies with common guidelines and is designed according to industrial standards. Although no specific DIN or CE certificates are mentioned, it meets the quality requirements for professional measuring environments. In industrial environments in particular, great importance is attached to precision and durability. The device is designed to meet these high demands in the long term.

Concrete application examples

– Quality assurance in production lines during the assembly of components to check tensile and compressive forces
– Laboratory tests in materials research to determine limit loads on metals and plastics
– Product tests in the packaging industry to measure the closing forces of containers
– Measurement of insertion and removal torque in screwdriving systems to check thread loads

FAQs

How does the automatic sensor detection work

?

The specific data of the external measuring cells is stored directly in the connector. When a sensor is connected, the device reads this information and configures itself automatically.

Can I use several measuring cells at the same time?

Yes, the FS version with four channels can operate up to four external sensors at the same time. The internal measuring cell is automatically deactivated as soon as an external measuring cell is connected to slot 1.

How are measurement results saved

?

All recorded data can be saved on the integrated SD card. In addition, the USB interface allows a direct connection to the software evaluation.

Is it possible to measure very small forces?

Thanks to resolutions from 0.005 N, even very small forces can be measured. Appropriately designed external sensors are available for particularly delicate applications.

Which measuring methods does the device support?

Tensile and compressive forces can be measured, which is particularly convenient with the TRACK function and peak value measurement. A tolerance function is also integrated to define limit values.

Conclusion

With its versatile features, expandability to up to four external measuring cells and convenient touchscreen, the FS offers a professional force measurement solution for a wide range of laboratory and production environments. Both the integrated memory function and the simple sensor recognition make this measuring system a flexible, reliable and robust companion for everyday work. The accuracy, variety of functions and expandability create confidence in demanding measurement tasks and always enable precise data usage for well-founded, measurement-based decisions.
