Compression Digital Hand Tester
The CDHT (Compression Digital Hand Tester) can accommodate larger springs (up to 6” tall) and test with greater accuracy than our ECT (Electronic Compression Tester).
11 lbf, 110 lbf & 750 lbf load capacities
Standard 6″ stroke
Up to 0.0005″ length resolution
The CDHT (Compression Digital Hand Tester) can accommodate larger springs – up to 6” tall – and test with greater accuracy than our ECT (Electronic Compression Tester). In addition, this tester can be upgraded with useful options like the Micro-Length Adjust with length stop, USB / RS 232 ports, as well as single or double length stop rods. Force and length readings are displayed on a two-line LED screen in real time as values with indicator bars. As is the case with all our manual testers, the Compression Digital Hand Tester has built-in deflection compensation for accurate readings at all times. The CDHT is built on a rugged cast aluminum and steel frame, moves on a precision rack and pinion drive with adjustments for wear, and features convenient hand operation to apply force and adjust length. A standard length lock and mechanical overload stops help protect the tester from damage.
Micro Length Adjust
Make extremely fine length adjustments and utilize two rigid compression stops built right into the assembly (the hand operating lever has been removed in this photo).
LED Force / Length Display
