TheDillon 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.

Force Ranges

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

---

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.

Pressure Fittings

---

Load is applied tot he U-Force through harded pressure fittings.
