Force Testing
The 2000-800-02 Motorized Loader and MULTITEST series
transducers can be configured to deliver compression and
tension loads. The 2000-810-01 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.
Note: Force testing is done using handcrank only. Push E-
Stop switch on the Motorized Control Box for lighter
handcrank torque.
