Equipment Used to Measure Force - 5 Must-Have Characteristics of Great Force Equipment Equipment used to measure force is going to be made to minimize off-center loading, bending, and torsion. To do this force, machines need to be: Plumb Level Square Rigid Free of Torsion All of the machines shown are designed with these 5 […]
Load Cell Simulator Morehouse's portable, lightweight Model 8 Budget-Friendly Load Cell Simulator can be a helpful tool in troubleshooting equipment problems. The load cell simulator can be used to verify meters are reading correctly, span meters, and as a check standard to help control drift associated with many digital meters. With a low-temperature coefficient, the […]
Recommended Compression and Tension Adapters for Force Calibration: We buy a great force standard, we demonstrate metrological traceability, & we make a force measurement. Without the proper compression and tension adapters, the errors can be over 10 times that of the specification. This article discusses the importance of compression and tension adapters and provides solutions […]
What is a Load Cell? A load cell is a force sensor that receives a voltage (excitation) from a regulated power source (usually a digital indicator or signal conditioner) and sends back a low voltage signal (signal) when force is applied. The load cell signal is converted to a visual or numeric value by […]
Morehouse Precision Load Cell When high accuracy and low risk are critical, customers rely on Morehouse for our Precision Load Cell (Shear Web) These strain gauge-type load cells are often the choice for companies making field measurements in accordance with ASTM E4 and ISO 7500. Lower uncertainties allow fewer standards to maintain, significantly lowering lifetime […]
Portable Force Machine Solves Several Measurement Management Headaches. This paper examines several “bad” measurement practices, such as using multiple technicians to calibrate instruments (including hand-held dynamometers). Such practices include using a free-floating cable and stacking weights to calibrate a cable tensiometer. We discuss how a portable force calibration machine can be used to improve efficiency […]
What is Force? In his second law, Sir Isaac Newton stated that force controls motion; therefore, we must control the force if we are to control the motion. An example of force: I have an egg in my hand and want to break it by squeezing it in my hand. This egg will break at […]
Calibration Load Cell Morehouse Load Cells are often the choice for companies that make field measurements in accordance with ASTM E4, ISO 7500, and general field measurements, which may include checking the force of a production press. These load cells are suitable for the following uses: Applications where alignment is critical To calibrate other load […]
