Force Measurement Systems & Motorized Test Stands
Force Gauges:
SAUTER offers digital and mechanical force gauges for precise tensile and compression testing in industry, laboratories and quality control. Depending on the model, features such as peak hold, track mode, limit value testing with signal output and data interfaces are available. In combination with test stands, force-displacement measurements are also possible – ideal for material testing, component testing and functional testing. For quality-critical applications, many models are available with factory calibration certificate or DAkkS calibration.
Force Test Stands:
SAUTER force test stands – manual or motorized, vertical or horizontal – ensure reproducible testing conditions for tensile and compression tests. Motorized force test stands provide constant and comparable results through precise speed control. Combined with suitable force gauges and software, they form powerful testing systems, including force-displacement analysis. Preconfigured test stand sets and system solutions offer a ready-to-use complete solution from a single source.
Spring Balances:
The mechanical SAUTER spring balances measure precisely in g/kg or Newton, supporting accurate weight and force determination.
Torque Measurement & Hardness Testing
Torque Testers
SAUTER digital torque testers are designed for precise torque measurement of tools, screw connections and closures. They are ideal for quality control in production as well as for service and maintenance applications. Depending on the model, the instruments provide reproducible measurement results, limit value monitoring and secure documentation of test data.
Hardness Testers
SAUTER hardness testers enable precise hardness testing of plastics and metals in industry and laboratories. For plastics, mechanical and digital Shore hardness testers (Shore A / D) are available. For metals, SAUTER offers portable digital Leeb hardness testers, ideal for large components and on-site testing, delivering reliable and consistent measurement results.
Coating Thickness Gauges & Material Testing Equipment
Coating Thickness Gauges & Material Thickness Gauges:
With SAUTER coating thickness gauges, you can reliably test paint layers, coatings and surface finishes – ideal for quality control and corrosion protection in industry and manufacturing. The ultrasonic material thickness gauges enable non-destructive wall thickness measurement of pipes, tanks and components. Applications such as precious metal testing can also be carried out precisely and efficiently.
Environmental Measuring Instruments & Monitoring Equipment
Color Meters
SAUTER color meters enable precise color measurement and color value analysis on various materials and surfaces. They provide reproducible results for quality control, production and incoming goods inspection.
Infrared Thermometers
SAUTER infrared thermometers allow non-contact temperature measurement in industry, maintenance and environmental applications. Ideal for fast surface temperature checks on machines, equipment and electrical components.
Light Meters & Sound Level Meters
With SAUTER light meters and sound level meters, you can reliably monitor illuminance levels and noise emissions. Suitable for environmental monitoring, occupational safety and compliance with legal limits.
