Lathe Tool Dynamometers
Product Code : EL-MAILE-10865
Lathe Tool Dynamometers (code EL-MAILE-10865) are three-component cutting force instruments for conventional lathes, measuring the X, Y and Z forces together through a strain gauge sensor and three independent digital indicators. The listed unit handles up to 500 Kgf in each direction at 1 kg resolution, takes a 20 mm square tool on the tool post, has a chrome plated sensor housing and a powder coated 400 (L) × 300 (W) × 100 (H) metal enclosure, and includes a 20 mm HSS tool bit.

What Are the Lathe Tool Dynamometers Used For?
A cutting force test shows how much load the tool carries and how it splits between the tangential, feed and radial directions, which governs the power needed, tool wear and surface finish. The sensor is mounted on the tool post through its 25 mm hole, the 20 mm tool is set to centre height, and the zero is balanced with the coarse and fine potentiometers before cutting. A series of cuts is then made while one parameter at a time is changed, and the three forces are read from the indicators or logged through the analog output, so that the combination of feed, speed and depth of cut that suits each work material can be found.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the number of dynamometers required.
- Force capacity — the standard up to 500 Kgf per direction, or another capacity to suit the machines and cuts planned.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many force components are displayed?
Three. The X, Y and Z forces are shown at the same time on three independent 3 digit LED displays, each with 1 kg resolution.
Can a capacity other than 500 Kgf be supplied?
The listed unit measures up to 500 Kgf in each direction, and the dynamometers are also available in various capacities as per customer requirement.
What tool does the dynamometer take?
It takes a 20 mm square tool, and a 20 mm HSS tool bit is included as the supplied accessory.
How is the zero set before a test?
Zero balancing is done with the coarse and fine potentiometers on the front panel before the cut begins, so each force reading starts from zero.
How is the sensor connected to the display unit?
A 3 metre shielded cable with a 9 pin D connector links the sensor to the powder coated indicator enclosure, which runs on 230V 50 Hz.
What should an export enquiry state?
State the quantity and capacity required, the destination country and port or city, delivery terms such as FOB or CIF, packing requirements and any tender reference.
