Push Pull Dynamometers

Accuracy varies by design and application. SensorData Technologies' fatigue-rated force sensors achieve nonlinearity and hysteresis as low as 0.07%, placing them among the most precise instruments available. For highest accuracy, look for low deflection (under 0.002 inch), shear web design, and compatibility with high-resolution AC carrier or DC strain gage signal conditioning electronics.

The two primary types of dynamometers are absorption dynamometers, which measure and absorb power output (e.g., engine testing), and transmission dynamometers, which measure force or torque without absorbing energy. In force measurement contexts, push pull dynamometers can measure both compressive and tensile loads, making them versatile tools for structural, material, and component testing.

SensorData Technologies offers push pull force sensors in a wide range of capacities. For example, the F312 series covers 200 to 3,000 lbf, the F200 covers 5K to 50K lbf, the F502 handles up to 100K lbf, and the F341–F347 series extends up to 500K lbf, accommodating light-duty testing through heavy structural and industrial applications.

SensorData Technologies' push pull dynamometers are compatible with both AC carrier and DC strain gage signal conditioning electronics. This dual compatibility provides flexibility to integrate with a wide range of existing data acquisition systems, instrumentation, and test rigs used in laboratory, manufacturing, and field environments.

Yes. SensorData Technologies' shear web design force sensors carry a fatigue rating of 100 million fully reversed cycles, making them well suited for component life cycle testing and material fatigue analysis. This guaranteed fatigue performance ensures consistent, reliable measurement over extended test programs without sensor degradation.
