Description
Spring balance SAUTER 281-301 is a precise mechanical spring balance in a robust aluminium housing with g/kg reading. The aluminium scale tube is robust, durable and handy, while the gram/kilogram scale displays results in grams or kilograms instead of newtons. A dual scale enables either quick or precise capture of the measurement result. Compression force measurement is possible with an optional pressure set. The rotatable holding bracket keeps the scale optimally aligned in the viewing direction. High precision comes from play-free spring bearing with an integrated tare screw for accurate adjustment, paired with a fatigue-free stainless steel spring. The clip eyelet allows free 360° rotation of the lower suspension. High-quality workmanship features an abrasion-resistant, colour-anodised precision scale with high resolution for finest reading. Maximum load is 0,1 kg with a resolution of 0,000001 kg. Net weight is 0,05 kg. This model from manufacturer Kern is supplied as 1 pc for laboratory and precision weighing tasks requiring reliable mechanical force measurement.
This article belongs on Precision balances, in Balances & scales. See also Analytical balances.

Questions about SAUTER spring balance 281-301
What is this article?
SAUTER spring balance 281-301 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes KERN for laboratory use. It sits in Precision balances, inside Balances & scales, in Lab instruments.
A precision balance reads more coarsely than an analytical balance, often 1 mg or 10 mg, and it takes a heavier pan load. It is the balance for preparing bulk reagents. Draft, level and a warm-up still move the last digit.
A balance compares a mass with a standard. An analytical balance reads to 0.1 mg or finer and needs a draft shield and a stable bench. A precision balance is coarser and faster. A platform scale takes a heavier load. The reading is only as good as the calibration chain back to the kilogram, which is why test weights and a certificate exist. A moisture analyser is a balance with a heater: it records the loss of mass as water leaves. The unit of mass is kept by the BIPM, compared across Europe by EURAMET, and accredited by BELAC. NIST publishes the same measurement foundations.
