AP DYNAMOMETER Mechanical Dynamometer
The Dillon AP Mechanical Dynamometer exhibits limitless versatility as a tension, traction and weight measuring instrument.
Full selection of capacities
Available in capacities from 500 to 20,000 kilograms. Models with a Newton or pound scale are optionally available.
Long life
The core of the device is a steel flexing beam. The enclosure is a heavy aluminum alloy case with baked on protective finish. The dial face is sealed and cushioned with a rubber gasket.
Safe for overhead applications--
Most models have a 5:1 ultimate safety factor.
Zero control
Use it like a tare. It can cancel preset load values up to 20% of device capacity.
NIST Traceable The AP Dynamometer comes with a NIST traceable calibration certificate.
