FDHT – Force Digital Hand Tester

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The FDHT is a tension / compression tester with force measurement only. It is equipped with a high-resolution force measuring system to display current or peak force and can be fitted to perform a variety of force tests. Standard pull lengths of 12” can be increased with optional extended rods to up to 48” to test long parts. It has a rugged cast-aluminum and steel frame, precision rack and pinion drive with adjustments for wear and convenient hand operation to apply force and adjust length.


Includes Length Deflection Compensation

What is length deflection compensation?
All force/lengh testing devices, regardless of manufacturer, have additional deflection by the load cell and tester frame which occurs as the spring is loaded. If you buy/use a tester without deflection compensation, measurements might include significant length errors.
Spring deflection, also known as spring travel or motion, is the action of a compression spring compressing (being pushed), an extension spring extending (being pulled), or a torsion spring winding (being twisted) when a load is applied or released. This is one characteristic (spring deflection) that is measured by a Larson Systems Spring Tester.

Larson Systems has BUILT-IN Length Deflection Compensation so that the user does not have to calculate and apply length corrections. Most competitors do not have length deflection compensation.

With a Larson Systems product, forget about calculating load cell and frame deflection when testing, we’ve got you covered.
