The Model U Force Gauge is an accurate (±1% of full range) mechanical compression-measurement instrument. Its slim-line design has repeatedly proven valuable in installations where space is at a premium. The versatility of this simple instrument is demonstrated by the fact that it can be used as a handheld device, permanently mounted on a flat surface plate, or used in test fixtures.
Dillon Model U Force Gauge Low-Range RECESSED Bottom comes with:
The Dillon Model U Force Gauge employs a deflection beam machined from aircraft quality alloy steel and heat treated to develop optimum strength and spring characteristics. A precision dial indicator is mounted at the null point of this beam.
Compression force is normally applied against a single pressure fitting mounted on the upper half of the beam. (For accurate calibration, designate the type of pressure fitting you wish to use with the U Force Gauge. They are of four types: domed, cupped, flat, or a flat nylon insert. Flat bottom gauges require only one fitting. Recessed bottom gauges have top and bottom fittings). When load is exerted, the beam moves downward causing a slanted anvil on the free end to push against the indicator plunger. The indicator reading is a direct representation of the applied load. PLEASE NOTE! **Recessed Bottom Optional on All Low-Range Models ONLY**

U Force Gauges are available for measurement in pounds, kilograms or newtons. There are 9-pound capacities ranging from 25 x .25 to 10,000 x 100 lb. The 7 kilogram capacities range from 10 x .1 to 5000 x 50 kg. On light capacity models with capacities from 25 to 250 lb or 10 to 100 kg, you can choose between flat bottom and recessed design.
