Use this tester for tension or compression applications. Standard pull lengths of 12” can be increased with optional extended rods to up to 18” to test long parts. It has higher resolution force and length to test with greater accuracy. In addition, this tester is upgradeable with more options like the Micro-Length Adjust with length stops or RS 232 port.
The DHT comes standard with a two-line backlit LCD display of force and length with deflection compensation for accurate readings at all times. It has a rugged cast aluminum and steel frame, precision rack and pinion drive with adjustments for wear and convenient hand operation to apply force and adjust length. It includes 2 position stop rods, standard length lock, rechargeable battery and mechanical overload stops to protect the tester from damage.
