Manufacturing Partner: 
The analog shore Rubber hardness testers of Bareiss were first made in the year 1954. Since the beginning, quality has been of utmost importance and hence the body of the shore hardness tester has always been made out of aluminium even when competition started to use plastic. Though the analog shore hardness tester
has become a very generic item, a number of points set our product apart. These are:
- Aluminium body
- Special material sourced for manufacturing the spring
- Special preconditioning of the spring
- Use of special bearings to reduce friction and testing uncertainty
- Every machine is unique since the bearings need to be hand selected to fit into the shaft of each machine based on the tolerances.
