AP Mechanical Dynamometer (Dillon Load Cell)
The first dynamometer ever invented was the AP mechanical dynamometer, originally designed for the telephone industry before diversifying into military, utility, aerospace, and many other applications. Embraced by industries across the globe, the AP dynamometer, also called a Dillon Load Cell, has withstood the test of time as a versatile tension measuring instrument. The AP Mechanical is so long-lasting and high-quality that many of our customers have been using the same unit since the ‘70s or even earlier.

Resources
The AP is a simple mechanical dynamometer with a dial face. The EDjunior is a basic digital dynamometer. The EDXtreme is a digital dynamometer with extra features such as data logging, custom units and optional remote viewing. There are some specification differences as well.
Yes, all our dynamometers come with a certificate of calibration traceable to NIST.
It is recommended the dynamometers are calibrated annually.

We ask that you complete and include the RMA Form located under the “Calibration and Repair” portion of our website with the shipment.
On new units we offer a 24-month limited warranty on parts and workmanship. On repairs, our warranty is 30 days.
It depends on the unit you have. Some units require certain shackles to guarantee accuracy. Send us some info and we’ll let you know what will work with your unit, or give us a call if you need an immediate answer.
A typical crane scale is designed to measure hanging loads. A dynamometer can measure tension vertically, horizontally or anywhere in between. Add a hook to a dynamometer and you have a crane scale with versatility.
Yes, please refer to the specification sheet of each model regarding safe proof load.
Please refer to the specification sheet of each model.
Dillon dynamometers are also sometimes called Dillon load cells.
