Hirschmann became a SKS company in 2006.

Function & Design

Robust | Flexible | Resilient

“In the global competitive scenario, low grade measuring- and testing instruments cost a company much more than investment in equipment of proven quality. Because in these times of limited budgets and cutthroat competition, there is one thing you cannot afford” (Hirschmann)

As a leading supplier of electro-mechanical components, SKS offers products and measurement accessories according to IEC 61010. Our products are designed for voltages from 30 VAC / 60 VDC to 1000 V AC/DC. Voltages above 30 VAC / 60 VDC may lead to dangerous currents for the human body. For this, SKS offers the 2mm & 4mm safety system. If used correctly, a large range of the products ensures optimum safety up to 1,000 V. The products are designed, tested and marked according to IEC 61010. These products bear a text indicating the permissible rated voltage and measurement category. SKS products meet international safety standards and are recognized all over the world as reliable and high-quality products.

Test and Measurement Applications

Clamp type test probes with diverse grip jaw-constructions and test probes with strong or sprung stainless steel tip assure the expansion to measuring points, that are unreachable by hand and contact respectively clamp with constant force. Only by this way exact measuring results are achievable.
