The Morehouse Ring Dynamometer An easy-to-use instrument designed to measure mechanical forces, the Morehouse Ring Dynamometer is recommended when a load cell system cannot be used. Its applications include checking mechanical and hydraulic presses and calibrating universal testing machines, Brinell hardness testers, weighing systems, and other force measurement systems. When force is applied to the […]
Force Calibration Lead Time Problems and 4 Ways You Can Avoid Them We all deal with scheduling force calibration a little bit differently, and most of us struggle when our equipment is out for calibration. Imagine this scenario. The company we send our equipment to promises a turnaround time to meet our schedule. That date […]
Load Cell Testers Can Solve Your Load Cell Mystery in 30 Seconds (No More Guessing!) Are you staring at a malfunctioning load cell, wondering if it's Kaput? We've all been there. Frustrating, right? Thanks to Morehouse Load Cell Testers (LCT), your 30-second solution to load cell confusion, the good news is that those days of […]
Load cells calibration basics and why is it important? What are the best methods and instruments to use? What industry standards or best practices should I follow? If you are new to force calibration or metrology, the information can be overwhelming. Since force calibration is mechanical in nature, there are many factors to consider. Load […]
Load Cell Cases A protective case is an excellent solution to protect equipment during shipment. There are a variety of options for cases with wheels, handles, latches, break-away foam, custom-cut foam, and dividers. The upfront cost of a case is much better than the unknown future cost of equipment repair or replacement. Morehouse can fit […]
Force Measurement Terms In the previous Back-to-Basics blog, I covered Load Cell Indicator Basics. This last blog for beginners contains a glossary of common terms in force measurement. This is a basic list of terms, and some have not been covered. It is important to post these for reference because most of these force measurement […]
The G501F Single-Channel Load Cell Indicator The G501F single-channel load cell indicator is suitable for one load cell and does multi-point calibration in both loading modes. The G501F load cell indicator uses a span algorithm, allowing programmed values to be as close to the desired setpoint as those from similar indicators at the same price […]
Load Cell Indicator Basics In the last Back-to-Basics blog, I covered Load Cell Troubleshooting. As I continue to cover basic concepts for beginners, this blog covers the basics of a load cell indicator. Morehouse High Accuracy Digital Indicator (HADI) When force is exerted on a load cell, the mechanical energy is converted into equivalent electrical […]
The 4215 Plus Indicator The 4215 Plus Indicator is a standalone unit that does not require additional software, load tables, or computers to use the B coefficients and solve for Force. It can store coefficients used to predict load cell deflection values throughout the calibrated range. The polynomial equation, fitted to calibration data using the […]
