Two quite different instruments answer to this name and mixing them up is expensive. A bench or handheld push-pull gauge measures tens or hundreds of newtons — spring rates, closing forces, the pull needed to separate a crimp — and it is a quality and test-room instrument. A load link or crane dynamometer measures tonnes in a lifting path, and it is a rated lifting component before it is an instrument, which means it needs a proof test certificate and a stated working load limit, and its shackles and pins are part of the assembly rather than accessories. If it is going into a lift, say so in the first message, because the certification is the long lead item and not the electronics. For either type the useful information is the same three things: the peak force expected, the direction of loading, and whether the reading has to be captured at the moment of peak or watched continuously.
The more of this you send, the closer the first quotation lands.
| Application | Bench and test-room measurement, or force in a lifting path |
|---|---|
| Force range | Peak expected force, with the working point inside the span |
| Direction | Tension, compression, or both |
| Working load limit | Required where the device is part of a lift |
| Certification | Proof test and certificate required for lifting equipment |
| End fittings | Shackles, pins and eye sizes to match the existing rigging |
| Reading mode | Live reading, peak hold, or logged over time |
| Display | Integral, or a remote or wireless display for a lift |
| Accuracy | Percentage of reading or full scale — state what it is used for |
| Environment | Workshop, outdoor, or offshore with salt exposure |
| Data output | USB, wireless or software for reports |
| Calibration | Traceable certificate and the recall interval required |
