Morehouse Cable Tensiometer

The Mechanical Cable Tensiometer Calibrator (PCM-2MD-T1) provides safety, convenience, and fast turnaround with its all-around safety shield, fine calibration force control, and versatility to calibrate a large variety of instruments.

The Cable Tensiometer is equipped with several time-saving features that enable a quality force calibration on a wide range of force sensors such as shear web load cells, S-type load cells, force gauges, button load cells, beam load cells, etc.

Morehouse Cable Tensiometer Features include:

• 2,000 lbf capacity
• Compression and tension calibration modes
• Clear shatter resistance safety shield to protect the operator in case the cable or adapters fail during calibration
• Calibration of cable tension meters on cables up to 5 ft long
• Fine control over calibration forces
• Eliminates the need to carry and stack weights for calibrating force instruments
• Includes clevises for calibration cable tension meters
• Includes compression load pad and ball seat adapter for calibration of compression-only instruments
• Lowers the risk of overloading small force measurement
• Quick adjustment of the calibration space opening for switching setups
• Optional kits of variable adapters for calibrating dynamometers, crane scales, tension load cells, button load cells, etc.
• Capable of controlling force application as low as 0.005 lbf based on the resolution of the reference standard used
• Low-maintenance mechanical system with manual operation
