Buyer's guide

Choosing the right SAUTER testing technology

Force measurement and test stands

For repeatable tension and compression tests, combine a force gauge with a matching test stand. Motorised stands of the TVS series ensure a constant test speed, while a manual stand such as the TVQ is enough for simple tests. Check the required force range and the working height for your samples.

Hardness testing: ultrasonic (UCI) or Leeb

The right hardness testing method depends on the part and material:

UCI / ultrasonic (HO series with probes HO-A01, HO-A02): suited to fine, thin-walled and surface-hardened parts.
Leeb / rebound (HMO series): suited to large, heavy and coarse-grained workpieces.

Weighing and material inspection

For heavy loads, scale kits and load cells such as CW 9000 and CS 30000 are available. In addition, colour spectrometers (JCS) check colour deviations and sound level meters (SW) measure noise levels - so you cover several inspection tasks with one brand.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about SAUTER

What does SAUTER manufacture?

SAUTER is a German manufacturer of force measurement and material testing technology. The range includes digital force gauges, motorised and manual test stands, hardness testers and further measuring and testing instruments for industry, laboratory and workshop.

Is SAUTER part of KERN & Sohn?

Yes. SAUTER is part of the KERN & Sohn group and shares its focus on measuring and weighing technology from Germany.

What is the difference between ultrasonic and Leeb hardness testing?

Ultrasonic hardness testers (UCI, HO series with probes such as HO-A01 and HO-A02) suit small, thin-walled and surface-hardened parts. Leeb hardness testers (HMO series) use the rebound method and suit large, heavy and coarse-grained workpieces.

What are the TVS series test stands used for?

The TVS test stands are motorised stands for tension and compression tests. Combined with a force gauge they enable repeatable force measurements at a constant test speed. For simple manual tests the TVQ test stand is available.

Do I get advice and accessories at esd.equipment?

Yes. We advise you on selecting and configuring the right SAUTER instruments and supply matching accessories such as probes and load cells. For a professional quote you can reach us by email.
