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. 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°F / -45 to 60°C) Large safety factor for overload protection and long life. No batteries required. Dial size choice for the best in portability or visibility. 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.
Clamps on cables for wire rope hoist, elevator and crane overload prevention and slackline detection. Installs in minutes with screwdriver and Allen wrench. Installation is simplicity itself. Clamp the Cranegard® directly onto a slack hoist or crane wire rope quickly without severing rope or interrupting service. Up to four switches can be furnished. Switch actuates immediately when pre-set load limit is exceeded. Dillon will set the switches to trigger at the loads you desire, if specified at time of order.
Dillon DynaSwitch systems are a reliable, low cost way to control forces and prevent overloads. They can be used in automation controls, acting as scales. They can be used on cranes, hoists and elevators-not only to shut off power when an overload condition exists, but they can also be set to operate lights, buzzers or klaxons to warn of an impending overload. Like 24-hour sentinels, they can operate in normal or extreme environments. The heart of the system is a force beam which operates in tension or compression. Seven different load capacities are available. Switch and physical connection options are listed. Each beam can accommodate from one to four switches which can be set to operate as many as four different switching functions or combinations including slackline detection. All DynaSwitch force beams and attachment fittings have an ultimate safety factor of 5:1 (4.5:1 for metric capacities). In addition, all models have an overload stop or bolt to provide extra protection to the measuring ability of the DynaSwitch force beam. Dillon will set the switches to trigger at the loads you desire, if specified at time of order.
The Dillon EDjunior Crane Scale is all about value. Behind its simple design and easy operation, you will find the quality and performance not found elsewhere. With the EDjunior Crane Scale, Dillon proves that economy can go hand-in-hand with accuracy, long service life and, most importantly, worker safety. EDjunior Crane Scales are made up of two parts, an EDjunior Dynamometer and the associated crane scale hardware kit which includes the following: a swivel hook, oversized shackle assembly & a wooden shipping/storage crate.
The Edjunior dynamometer is a cost effective basic instrument for reading tensile forces. A carry case is included with this model. The EDjunior comes with two anchor shackles. Cannot order EDjunior without shackles. The EDjunior provides peak detection as well as sustained load readings. Selectable units of measure include lbf, kgf and Newtons. When in a low light area, turn on the configurable backlight to make readings highly visible.
The EDXtreme Crane Scale offers accurate repeatable readings which are essential to correct weighing. The higher standards set for the EDX Crane Scales meant taking the time to ensure that material characteristics, load element design and strain gauge meshed perfectly. The result of that effort is a typical accuracy of 0.1% of full scale capacity. The enhanced resolution mode of 1 part in 5,000 provides the level of readability needed for refined weighing. Building a precision instrument that can survive real world punishment requires masterful engineering. This is where Dillon’s experience shines through. The engineers assigned to the EDX Crane Scale drew on a depth of industrial application knowledge and conducted exhaustive materials testing to achieve the highest structural integrity. EDXtreme Crane Scales are made up of two parts, an EDXtreme Dynamometer and the associated crane scale hardware kit which includes the following: a swivel hook, oversized shackle assembly & a wooden shipping/storage crate.
