Product information "Sauter FS 2-1KSP1 force measuring set with S-type load cell, 1 kN / 0.2 N"
The Sauter FS SP1 combine the FS 2 force gauge with an S-type load cell of the CS series (type 3P1) made of nickel-plated steel. The S-shape is the classic design for tensile measurements, but the load cell also measures compressive forces. Seven sets cover the range from 1 kN to 100 kN, each fully assembled. The readability ranges from 0.2 N for the FS 2-1KSP1 to 20 N for the FS 2-100KSP1.
S-type load cell: design and accuracy class
The S-type load cell is a 4-wire load cell for force and mass measurement. It is protected against dust and water according to IP67 (EN 60529), and the rated output is 2 mV/V. Kern specifies the accuracy class according to OIML C3. During a tensile test, the cell is suspended between the suspension point and the test object and can also be subjected to compressive loads.
Models: designation and measuring range
The model numbers deserve a closer look: the FS 2-2KSP1 has the cell CS 250-3P1 and measures up to 2.5 kN. The FS 2-1KSP1 (CS 100-3P1) measures up to 1 kN, whilst the FS 2-5KSP1 (CS 500-3P1) measures up to 5 kN. From 10 kN upwards, the cells are larger: The FS 2-10KSP1 measures 50.8 x 76.2 x 25.4 mm, the FS 2-20KSP1 and FS 2-50KSP1 measure 76.2 x 101.6 x 25.4 mm, and the FS 2-100KSP1 measures 125 x 175 x 50 mm.
FS 2: measuring channels, display, functions
The force gauge has a 3.5-inch touchscreen with a touch pen and two measuring channels. A further two channels can be retrofitted. Because the data of the cell is in the connector, the device puts the cell into operation without manual input. It shows current values (track), captures the peak value and checks against a tolerance. The sampling rate and transmission rate are up to 1,000 Hz per channel. The Kern Communication Protocol (KCP) connects the FS 2 to computers and control systems.
Memory, USB and adjustment
16 GB of device memory stores the measurement series. The values go to a PC via USB, and the device is powered via the same connection. To adjust, you need known weights (two-point adjustment) or enter the values numerically. A Li-ion rechargeable battery powers the FS 2 for up to 8 h without backlight and 5 h with backlight; the charging time is approx. 8 h. The set comes in a Systainer T-LOC with a plug-in mains adaptor and a USB Type-C cable.
Typical applications
- Test laboratories: tensile tests on samples, ropes, springs and joints
- Research and development: force measurement in tension and compression fixtures
- Automotive industry: testing holding forces and component loads
- Maintenance and servicing: load testing of slings and fastenings
- Plastics engineering: tensile and compression testing of plastic components
The S-cell is suitable for measuring tensile forces in the range from 1 kN to 100 kN. For pure compressive forces, the RQ1 and OY1 series are available.
