High-Capacity Precision for Heavy-Duty Tension and Compression Testing

The REED Instruments SD-6100 is a professional-grade force gauge engineered to handle demanding industrial measurements up to 220 lbs (100 kg).

Whether you are performing destructive testing in a lab or verifying mechanical assemblies on a production line, the SD-6100 provides the power and precision required for high-force applications. Its integrated SD card data logger eliminates the need for manual record-keeping, allowing you to capture thousands of data points with ease.

Key Technical Advantages

  • Heavy-Duty Measurement Range: Capable of measuring up to 100 kg, 220 lbs, or 980 Newtons, making it ideal for testing structural components and high-tension materials.

  • Software-Free Data Management: Automatically log readings directly to an SD memory card in a universal Excel-compatible format. This allows for instant data analysis on any PC without the need for proprietary software.

  • Peak Hold & Zero Capability: Easily capture the absolute maximum force achieved during a test and reset the display instantly for rapid-fire sample testing.

  • User-Selectable Response Times: Feature Fast/Slow response settings to accommodate either sudden impact forces or steady, gradual tension applications.

  • Large Backlit Display: Ensure visibility in any environment with a bright, easy-to-read LCD that displays real-time units and measurement status.

Ideal Applications for the REED SD-6100

  • Manufacturing & QC Testing: Verify the structural integrity of heavy-duty components and large-scale mechanical assemblies.

  • Destructive Strength Testing: Measure the exact force required to break welds, bonds, and high-strength industrial fasteners.

  • Safety Equipment Inspections: Verify the pull-force thresholds for industrial safety latches, heavy fire doors, and restraint systems.

  • Material Science: Conduct compression and tension tests on high-density plastics, metals, and composite materials.

  • Ergonomic Assessments: Analyze the force required to operate heavy machinery controls, levers, and foot pedals for workplace safety.
