MechanicalForce GaugesMeasure tension, compressionor push/pull

Dillon Model X Mechanical Force GaugesMeasure tension, compression and push/pull.Model X-C withcompression calibrationModel X-ST withtension calibrationModel X-C comes in ninecapacities ranging from 50 lb to25,000 lb or 50 to 10000 kg. Allfeature accuracy of 1% of fullcapacity, except the 25,000 (10000kg) capacity instruments which areaccurate to 2% of full capacity.Dillon offers the Model X-ST in sevencapacities from 100 lb to 10,000 lb or25 kg to 5000 kg. Accuracy is 1%of full range. (Note: For applicationsrequiring capacities beyond 10,000lb or 5000 kg in tension, consider theDillon Dynamometer).Load is applied against a hardenedball which rotates to maintain verticalalignment as pressure increases.The ball is held in place with a springclip or retainer. A threaded mountinghole is located opposite the loadingball in the bottom of the beam.Tension Force Gauges in capacitiesthrough 2,000 lb (1000 kg)are supplied with two rod-endconnectors. 5,000 and 10,000 lb(5000 kg) capacities are equippedwith convenient shackles and pins.Model X-C is available in pound orkilogram capacities.Calibration is available in pounds, orkilograms.Optionsn Shockless dial indicator for installations involving thesudden application or release of force. (Maximum pointercannot be supplied with shockless dial indicator.)n Maximum load pointer which remains at peak load untilmanually reset. (not available on Model X-PP)n Zero position on dial may be factory positioned at 12, 3, 6,or 9 o'clock. Standard position is at 12 o'clock.2Model X-PP withcompression/tensioncalibrationForce gauges calibrated in pushpull are available in four capacitiesin pounds ranging from 50-0-50 lbup to and including 2,500-0-2,500lb and three metric capacities from50-0-50 to 1000-0-1000 kg. Accuracyis 2% of maximum dial reading(based upon total capacity of bothcompression and tension scales).Model X-PP gauges in capacitiesup to and including 500-0-500 lb or250-0-250 kg are supplied with aset of self-aligning spherical rod-endconnectors for tension loading. Forceis applied to connectors through ahardened steel pin which must be slipfit in connector holes.2,500-0-2,500 lb and 1000-0-1000kg capacity gauges are equippedwith two shackle adapters, shacklesand pins. Shackles must be removedwhen compression load is involved.Force is then applied against shacklepins in a suitable test setup.All push-pull gauges are suppliedwith a compression-loading sphericalball fitting for compression loading.

Spring retainer clipPrinciple of operationLow beam deflectionOverload ratingA D-shaped deflection beam is theheart of the Dillon Force Gauge.Machined to close tolerances, beamsare heat treated to develop optimumstrength and spring characteristics.High-strength aluminum is used inModel X instruments through 500lb (200 kg). Ranges above this arefabricated from aircraft-qualityalloy steel.When measured across the centerof top- and bottom-loading holes,the approximate beam deflection isas follows:Accidental overloads up to 30% ofcapacity can be safely sustainedwithout injury to the dial indicatoror deflection beam. All capacitiesfeature a 5:1 design safety factor.A precision dial indicator is mountedat the null point of the deflectionbeam. The indicator plunger restsagainst a slanted anvil at the openend of the beam, as shown in thephoto. Under compression loads,the two halves of the beam tend toclose. Tension force causes them tomove apart. This action pushes theplunger inward, as determined bythe slant of the anvil. Readingsproduced on the dial are in directrelation to applied load. The pointerrevolves 360 clockwise undercompression or tension forces.Push-pull gauges read half scale(180 ) clockwise in compression, andcounterclockwise, 180 from centerzero under tension loads.50 to 250-lb capacity(25 to 100 kg)0.019"500-lb capacity(200 kg)0.016"1,000-lb capacity(500 kg)0.018"2,000-lb capacity(1000 kg)0.011"5- and 10,000-lb capacity(2 and 5000 kg)0.010"25,000-lb capacity(10,000 kg)0.022"General informationn To reset zero, loosen knurledbezel-locking screw and rotatedial.n Dillon Model X Force Gauges maybe mounted horizontally, vertically,or flat.n The baked-enamel finish resistscorrosion and rust.n Operating temperatureup to 120 F.Certificate of Calibration3An official Certificate of Calibrationtraceable to NIST, dated and signed,accompanies each new or factoryserviced Dillon X Force Guage.

Dillon Model U Force GaugesSlim line design for added versatility.The Model U Force Gauge is an accurate ( 1% of full range) mechanicalcompression-measurement instrument. Its slim-line design has repeatedly proven valuable in installationswhere space is at a premium.The versatility of this simpleinstrument is demonstrated by thefact that it can be used as a handheld device, permanently mountedon a flat surface plate, or used intest fixtures.How the U ForceGauge WorksThe Dillon Model U Force Gaugeemploys a deflection beam machinedfrom aircraft quality alloy steel andheat treated to develop optimumstrength and spring characteristics.A precision dial indicator is mountedat the null point of this beam.2415Compression force is normallyapplied against a single pressurefitting mounted on the upper half ofthe beam. (For accurate calibration,designate the type of pressure fittingyou wish to use with the U ForceGauge. They are of four types:domed, cupped, flat, or a flat nyloninsert. Flat bottom gauges requireonly one fitting).Options6:003:009:00When load is exerted, the beammoves downward causing a slantedanvil on the free end to push againstthe indicator plunger. The indicatorreading is a direct representation ofthe applied load.Dillon offers a capacityfor every jobU Force Gauges are available formeasurement in pounds or kilograms.There are 6-pound capacities rangingfrom 25 x .25 to 5,000 x 50 lb. The 4kilogram capacities range from 10 x.1 to 500 x 5 kg.Dillon also offers high-capacitygauges with pounds capacities from500 to 5,000 lb and a metric modelwith a capacity of 500 kg. Highcapacity gauges all have flat-bottomdesign.6312:00Zero position—The zero positionon the indicator dial can be factorypositioned at 12 o'clock, 3 o'clock,6 o'clock, or 9 o'clock. The standardposition is the 6 o'clock position.Maximum pointer—Model U ForceGauges can include a maximumpointer which remains at peak loaduntil it is reset.Shockless dial indicator—Offersadded protection in applications whereforce is applied or released rapidly.Dial orientation—The dialindicator can be factory positionedat 0 (standard), 90 , 180 , 270 clockwise. Photos on this page showstandard dial orientation.Note: maximum pointer andshockless dial indicator cannot beoffered on the same unit.1. Deflection beam2.
