AP Dynamometer

Originally designed to measure the tension on telephone wires, the Dynamometer has

proven to have limitless versatility as a tension and weight measuring instrument. It is

used for such diverse jobs as suspended weighing; mounting cables for bridges; adjusting

tension on guy wires; field testing chain, rope, wire – anything requiring precision force

or tension measurement.

Certificate of Calibration

An official Certificate of Calibration traceable to NIST, dated and signed, accompanies

each new or factory serviced Dillon Model AP dynamometer. Experienced technicians

calibrate each instrument on an individual basis making certain that all parts are

carefully adjusted and that every unit is within stated accuracy tolerances before it

leaves the factory.

Feature for feature-

Dillon Dynamometer sets the standard.

         Accuracy: +/-0.5% of full scale capacity for precise data.

         Broadest range of capacities and resolutions are certain to fit your needs.

         Wide temperature range for use in nearly any environment (-50 to 140^๐F/ -45 to 60^๐C).

         Large safety factor for overload protection and long life.

         No batteries required.

         Dial size choice for the best in portability or visibility.

         Anti-parallax dial and pointer produce accurate readings from any perspective.

         Maximum hand retains peak load point and is easily reset.

         Zero control cancels preset loads (backside).

         High strength case resists heavy blows.

         Generous shackle openings mate with most hooks and hardware.

         High specification materials on all load components. Heat treated to tight tolerances.

         Durable powder coat paint provides outstanding protection.

         Offset load beam eases tension measurement.

         Approvals: CE on all capacities excluding 50K.

5” (125 mm) diameter AP dynamometer includes a rugged ABS plastic carry case with

die-cut foam inserts. Capacities of 30,000 lb (15,000 kg) and above are shipped in a

heavy-duty reinforced plywood crate. An optional steel carry case is available for

10” (250 mm) diameter dynamometers up to 20,000 lb (10,000 kg) capacity.

Options

Zero positioning

The standard zero position is 9 o’clock for both the 5” and 10” dial sizes. Capacities up to

20,000 lb can be supplied with the zero at 12, 3 or 6.

Klaxon signal alarm

Mounted on rear of the Dynamometer and sounds an alarm at a preset load point.
