Portable Calibrating
Machine Guide
(PG-5401)
Morehouse has an optional add-on for the L-Bracket kit that allows the user to apply very small forces to hand-
held force gauges with small hand-weights. As depicted in Figure 9, the weight hanging apparatus can be add
-
ed to the L-Bracket and force gauge assembly to apply the hand-weight forces. The final assembly is mounted
on the Portable Calibrating Machine. To use the full working space of the machine, the control spring housing
of the calibrating machine should be removed, and the L-Bracket mounted to the stage beam using the hard
-
ware included with the kit. The weight hanging apparatus is made of light weight material to minimize the tare
weight on the unit under test. Figure 10 illustrates the assembly of the weight hanging kit.
The weight hanging kit is designed as an add-on to the L-Bracket kit, and it cannot be used for calibration with
-
out the L-Brackets.
