Tension Adapter Kit
Tension force calibration often requires proper adapters to install the force instrument into the calibrating ma
-
chine. Morehouse offers a tension adapter kit for the Portable Calibrating Machine to help with tension force
calibration setups.
The kit includes threaded adapters, which are used to mount the unit under test between the reference stan
-
dard and the stage beam of Portable Calibrating Machine. Two adapters are typically needed for a tension
setup. One adapter is used to mount the unit under test on top of the reference standard. Another adapter ties
the top of the unit under test to the coupling nut of the stage beam. The swiveling action of the coupling nut
makes it easy for the user to install the adapters.
