Force Testing

The 2000-600-02 Manual Loader and MULTITEST series

transducers can be configured to deliver compression and

tension loads. The MULTITEST Indicator also provides

measurement, display, storage and statistical analysis of

FORCE inputs.

A 12" load arm attaches to the transducer drive which

mathematically cancels the length factor from the torque

measurement. For example, a 250 ft lb transducer translates

into 250 lbf (pounds force). The transducer is installed by lining

up its red locator line with the FORCE marker on the loader.

Only single transducers ranging above 400 in lb can be used to

measure force.

A cable attaches to the load arm. The cable pulls against a

tension gauge or closes a compression block mounted at the

right side of the loader.

Cable tensiometers are attached directly onto the cable itself.

The arm pulls against a block fixed at the right side of the

loader.
