You are bidding on a Like New Dillon 50 Lb. Mechanical Compression Force Gauge -1/2 Lb Resolution, Model X. Load is applied against a hardened ball which rotates to maintain vertical alignment as pressure increases. The ball is held in place with a spring clip. The threaded mounting hole is located opposite the loading ball in the bottom of the beam. A D-shaped deflection beam is the heart of the Dillon Force Gauge. Machined to close tolerances, beams are heat treated to develop optimum strength and spring characteristics. Aircraft-quality alloy steel is used in Model X instruments. A precision dial indicator is mounted at the null point of the deflection beam. The indicator plunger rests against a slanted anvil at the open end of the beam, as shown in the photo. Under compression loads, the two halves of the beam tend to close. Tension force causes them to move apart. This action pushes the plunger inward, as determined by the slant of the anvil. Readings produced on the dial are in direct relation to applied load. The pointer revolves 360 clockwise under compression or tension forces. Push-pull gauges read half scale (180) clockwise in compression, and counterclockwise, 180 from center zero under tension loads. Includes nice plastic carrying/storage.
