Morehouse Universal Calibrating Machines (UCM) are an easy-to-use, cost-effective, hydraulic force calibration system that lasts for generations. UCMs built in the 1950s are still operating today!
The UCM can be used to calibrate both tension and compression instruments in accordance with ASTM E74, ISO 376, and other internationally recognized force standards.
The operator can replicate how the force instruments are used in the field by using different setups for tension and compression, and proper adapters recommended by several standards, including ISO 376.
The Universal Calibrating Machine (UCM) is a superior alternative to expensive automated solutions, which often do not work due to the nature of the instruments being calibrated.
An automated machine will not allow the technician to calibrate analog devices or devices without some sort of data communication.
These machines often cost 50 % less than the fully automated solutions offered by other manufacturers. However, an automated option is always available as an upgrade.
The Morehouse Universal Calibrating Machine operates efficiently with very low operational and maintenance costs.
Accessories such as quick change tension members, tension member adapters, alignment bushings, and studs are available to help adapt load cells of many varieties for calibration.
Optional hydraulic power control with an auxiliary screw pump is recommended for capacities over 60,000 lbf.
