The Sauter FL 2K Digital Force Gauge is the highest range model in Sauter’s FL series of Digital Force Gauges. As a result, it varies slightly from its sister products, available here, in that it is supplied with an external sensor, tension loops and pressure plates.
However, like its sister products it is also supplied with an internal battery pack and mains adapter, and, like the other models, features a durable, metal housing and is compatible with all of Sauter’s test stands.
Similarly, it too can measure tension and compression forces in a variety of selectable measurement units such as N, kN, kg, oz, and lbf; although this model features a maximum range of 2500N.
Measurements are indicated via the graphics-assisted, turnable, backlit display with a capacity bar. The capacity bar illuminates in order to indicate the remaining measurement range. Data can be saved to the 500-result capacity, internal memory and may be exported to a PC or compatible Kern printer (sold separately, see ‘Accessories’) via the USB and bidirectional RS-232 interfaces. Data is printed with the date, time and the instrument’s serial number.
The Sauter FL 2K Digital Force Gauge also includes an analogue interface and will issue a continuous analogue output: a linear voltage signal in dependence to the load, ranging from -2V to +2V. Via this interface, the user can attach a peripheral analogue instrument for processing the measurements.
Further to this, the Sauter FL 2K Digital Force Gauge includes a number of measurement functions, including:
- Peak-Hold function: freezes the highest measurement detected
- Track function: continually updates the displayed measurement (every ten seconds), ensuring that the user is always able to view the most current measurement
- Alarm function: upper and lower limits can be programmed for both the push and pull directions; when limits are breached the gauge will issue a visual alert
The Sauter FL 2K Digital Force Gauge is a comprehensive, versatile and adaptable force measuring instrument.
