Product Applications

Quick-Check Tension Meter - Wind Turbine

Wind Turbines are used to produce electrical energy. They capture the wind's energy and convert it into electrical energy via a motor. By using the portable and rugged Dillon Electronic EDXtreme Dynamometer, the manufacturer will weigh the blades so they can send out a balanced set of blades for optimized performance. Also, a service technician can use the Dillon AP Mechanical Dynamometer to weigh equipment via a motorized hoist to prevent an overload to the hoist. Another application with the Wind Turbine is using the Quick-Check to check the tension on guy wires that support the wind turbine under high winds (not all wind turbines have guy wires). Products used: Quick-Check - 10,000 lbs AP Dynamometer 5" - 1,000 or 2,000 lb EDXtreme - 5,000 or 10,000 lb
