Use this tester for compression or extension applications from 2 to 750 lb. Standard pull lengths of 12” can be increased with optional extended rods to up to 24” to test long parts. It has higher resolution force and length to test with greater accuracy.

The SDHT comes standard with a two-line backlit LCD display of force and length with built-in load cell and frame deflection compensation for accurate readings at all times. 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. It includes Micro Length Adjust with built-in stops, standard length lock, rechargeable battery and mechanical overload stops to protect the tester from damage.

• Up to 24" range (12" standard)
• Up to 19" stroke (11" standard)
• Up to 4" Ø platform (2" standard)
• Standard 0.0005" length resolution
• 2 to 750 lb load capacities
