Proven accuracy and ruggedness sets our mechanical force gauge apart in the force measurement industry. The “D” shaped deflection beam is the heart of the Force Gauge system. Highly engineered materials with close machining tolerances and proper heat treatment provide optimum strength and spring characteristics. Ideal for stand alone force applications or often used as the load defining component of a much larger system. Feature:Force gauges calibrated in push-pull are available in seven capacities in lb ranging from 50-0-50 to 5,000-0-5,000 and four metric capacities from 50-0-50 to 1,000-0-1,000 kg. Newton calibration is also available. Accuracy is ±2% of maximum dial reading (based on total capacity of both compression and tension scales). Model X-PP gauges in capacities up to and including 1,000-0-1,000 lb or 500-0-500 kg are supplied with a set of self-aligning spherical rod-end connectors for tension loading. Force is applied to connectors through a hardened steel pin which must be a slip fit in connector holes. 2,500-0-2,500 lb and 5,000-0-5,000 lb and 1,000-0-1,000 kg capacity gauges are equipped with two shackle adapters, shackles and pins. Shackles must be removed when compression load is involved. Force is then applied against shackle pins in a suitable test setup. All push-pull gauges are supplied with a compression-loading spherical ball fitting for compression loading. |
