FM and FMB handheld devices

The FM and FMB handheld devices enable precise tensile and compressive force measurements, both manually and on a force test stand. Easy-to-read colour display for optimal overview. Measurement values can be saved at the touch of a button. Outputs minimum/maximum, mean value, range and standard deviation from up to 50 values. Adapter set for clamping tools available: in addition to the supplied accessories, the suitable clamping tool can be selected from a wide range.

The FMB model transmits measured values directly to PC applications via Bluetooth.
