Product Description
The Dillon U-Force Slim-line Mechanical 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
6 capacities ranging from 25 lb x .25 lb to 5,000 lb x 50 lb and 4 capacities ranging from 10 kg x .1 kg to 500 kg x 5 kg.

The Dillon U-Force Slim-line Mechanical 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 the Dillon U-Force is demonstrated by the fact that it can be used as a hand-held device, permanently mounted on a flat surface plate, or used in test fixtures.

The Dillon U-Force 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. 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.

Dillon U-Force are available for measurement in pounds or kilograms. There are 6-pound capacities ranging from 25 x .25 to 5,000 x 50 lb. The 4 kilogram capacities range from 10 x .1 to 500 x 5 kg.

We also offers high-capacity gauges with pounds capacities from 500 to 5,000 lb and a metric model with a capacity of 500 kg. High-capacity gauges all have flat-bottom design.

Options

  • Zero position - The zero position on the indicator dial can be factory positioned at 12 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock, or 9 o'clock. The standard position is the 6 o'clock position.
  • Maximum pointer — Model U Force Gauges can include a maximum pointer which remains at peak load until it is reset.
  • Shockless dial indicator — Offers added protection in applications where force is applied or released rapidly.
  • Dial orientation — The dial indicator can be factory positioned at 0° (standard), 90°, 180°, 270° clockwise. Photos on this page show standard dial orientation.
Note: maximum pointer and shockless dial indicator cannot be offered on the same unit

How the U-Force Works
line

1.Deflection beam
2.Dial indicator with zero at standard 6:00 position
3.Pressure fitting
4.Maximum load pointer (optional)
5.Indicator plunger
6.Slanted Anvil

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).

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.
