? Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Force Measurement Systems
 
What’s included in a force measurement system?
A typical set includes:
✔ Digital force gauge (e.g. SAUTER FS)
✔ Tension and/or compression load cell
✔ Connecting elements and adapters
✔ Clamping tools, transport case and accessories
✔ Optional: DAkkS calibration certificate
 
What is the difference between manual and motorized test stands?
Manual test stands – operated by hand wheel or spindle, ideal for basic applications
Motorized test stands – controlled, programmable motion with constant speed
→ Best for standard-compliant test sequences, automatic test cycles and force-travel analysis
 
Which software is compatible?
AFH FAST – for graphical force-time analysis
AFH FD / AFH LD – for force-displacement diagrams (with travel measurement)
AFI 2.0 – for data export to Excel® or ERP systems
All software is compatible with SAUTER force gauges (USB or RS-232 interface)
 
Can I order the systems calibrated?
✔ Yes – with ISO factory calibration or DAkkS certificate
✔ Recommended for all quality-critical or standards-based test applications
