PCE-SH series force meter
measures traction and compression, with external dynamometric cell and 2.5m cable (3 models available)

The PCE-SH series force meter is highly accurate and has a maximum force measurement of up to 50,000 N (according to model). This allows for easy measurement of pressure or traction force. This force meter has an external dynamometric cell with a 2.5m cable and has been designed to test breaks and tears. It is not neccesary to use other measurement cells, as with the combined "Z" cell most form of traction can be measured. The following link shows a force meter that has an internal measurement cell for smaller loads: Model FM.

• Measures Newton [N], tons [t] and pounds [lb] with high resolution.
• Backlit LCD
• Rechargeable Ni-Hi with a capacity for 20 hours of use (recharges in 4 hours)
• The device will prevent measurements being taken with a low battery charge
• Peak memory for traction and compression
• Measurement limit function
• Memory for 10 readings
• Calculates average value
• Indicates direction of force
• Overload protection up to 120%, shows readings up to 105%

The backlit display is easy to read, and aside from showing measurement results, also shows battery level, average value, maximum value and the corresponding memory location. There is also an arrow to indicate the direction of force. Above the display are three LED's that show if any maximum or overload limits have been reached. The device will also beep to indicate that limits have been exceeded.
A zero reset can be performed when required using the PEAK button. The backlit display function can be turned on at the press of a button. The SET key alllows maximum and overload limits to be programmed into the device.

The photo to the right shows the device with an external dynamometric cell adapted for traction / pressure. The 2.5m connecting cable allows the cell to be attached to a machine or installation, or adpated to a test position if you wish to decentralise the measurement in a digital unit. If required, a 5m or 10m long cable can be used. Call us and we can assist you with this request or any other issue you may have. The device should be adjusted with the dynamometric cell and cable attached, as though it were a single unit.
A DIN ISO calibration can be ordered from us (laboratory calibration with certificate) when you order the device or as an annual recalibration.

The corresponding bolts for each model of dynamometric cell fasten easily to the cell. Remember to use the nut and bolt that come with the device and not to combine those from other devices Ensure they are not over tightened as this will damage the device.
