FORCE MEASUREMENT EQUIPMENT

AP Dynamometer

The AP Dynamometer was originally designed to measure the tension on telephone
wires and has proven to have limitless versatility as a tension and weight measuring
instrument.

It is used for such diverse jobs as suspended weighing; tensioning support cables for
bridges or aerial work ways; adjusting tension on guy wires; load testing; field testing
chain, rope and wire.

Dillon is the world leader in mechanical dynamometers with the largest installed
population globally. The sturdy design, top grade components, full NIST traceability and
premium coatings make it the standard in force measurement and able to stand the
test of time in the most severe environments and applications.

Embraced by both the military and industrial markets across the globe, we are
Dynamometers/Crane Scales
confident that the AP will work in the most demanding applications.
