Dynamometers for accurate force and tension measurement

If you’re looking to weigh objects while conducting lifting operations, or if you need to measure force or tension in a horizontal application, a crane or tension dynamometer is just the tool for the job.

This type of dynamometer is a versatile tool that can be used in a wide range of lifting and measuring applications, including: 

• Weighing during manufacturing
• Weighing while loading or unloading cargo
• Overload prevention during lifting operations
• Testing wind turbine bearings
• Proof load testing for cranes and hoists
• Bollard pull test for steamboats
• And many others

Below you’ll find our line of wired and wireless dynamometers for sale:
 

Tension dynamometers are composed primarily of a load cell, a strain gauge, and an array of electronic components. The strain gauge is attached to the load cell body and measures the slight changes to the load cell as force or weight is applied to it. The strain gauge then sends signals that are converted into a desired unit of measurement and displayed electronically on an integrated or remote display. 

Dynamometers are designed to function like an industrial hanging scale and are found in a variety of industries and sectors, including:

• Oil and gas
• Shipbuilding
• Steel production
• Aerospace
• Locomotive manufacturing
• Building and infrastructure construction
• And more

Dynamometers for Various Industries

If you work in one of many heavy industries, at some point, there may come a time when you find yourself in need of a telemetry dynamometer, a radio dynamometer, a tension dynamometer, digital telemetry dynamometers or other dynamometers. These systems are used to measure force, and the professionals who use them are often:

• Wind Turbine Operators/Installers
• Shipping Companies
• Safety Inspection Firms
• Oil & Gas Staffers
• Offshore Workers

Of course, you could find yourself in need of dynamometers in other instances too. So don't be surprised if another occasion arises that requires such a tool. The following are some solutions that might be perfect for the task at hand.

Digital Telemetry and Automation Force Dynamometer

Some jobs don't necessarily require a digital telemetry and automation force dynamometer. Instead, people can get by with other solutions. However, if your primary concern is getting an accurate and precise reading with ease, consider a digital telemetry and automation force dynamometer. If for nothing else, go with digital telemetry dynamometers because they'll make your life easier than analog solutions.

Dynamometer With 2 Shackles & Radio Output

What if you have to move from one location to another? The last thing you'll want to have to do is purchase multiple digital telemetry dynamometers because that will hit you where it hurts, the pocketbook. A dynamometer with 2 shackles & radio output can be the perfect solution, as you'll be able to connect and disconnect it in the blink of an eye. Plus, by choosing a precision dynamometer with radio output, you won't get stuck at a fixed location because of a wire. Instead, you'll be free to move about while obtaining measurements. That's only one reason to give a dynamometer with 2 shackles & radio output a try. However, once you do so, you'll quickly learn what the fuss is about for yourself. Before simply purchasing any old digital telemetry dynamometer with shackles, do your research. Ensure the manufacturer has a lot of experience, the systems have high safety and quality features and check other users' references and testimonials. Then, you'll be able to make an informed decision about which product is right for you.

With five decaes of experience, Eilon Engineering offers a 5 year warranty and counts NASA, Boeing, Cirque du Soleil, Disney, Vestas, GE among its customers. Safety factor is 5:1, accuracy is 0.1% of the full scale, and all Eilon Engineering load cells are fatigue rated.

Marine Dynamometer

Eilon Engineering offer dynamometers with avaiable options that are suited for a marines environment. These include IP67 environmental sealing, perfect for performing bollard pull tests.
