Uncompromising on Safety and Adaptable to the need
The EDXtreme exemplifies the trademark precision and rugged construction of Dillon dynamometers. Its highly refined design draws on the inherent strengths of premium-grade materials to achieve a 5:1 minimum factor of safety.*
While the EDXtreme may be configured for something as simple as a digital hanging scale, it offers a higher level of intelligence. With user-defined functions and sophisticated communication options, the EDXtreme readily adapts to multitasking operations or multi-link systems capable of monitoring a series of critical stress points from a single location—it is the definition of application versatility.
* Models with 75 T/160,000 lb or higher capacity feature a 4:1 safety factor and 0.3% accuracy.
Specifications
* The model number in parentheses shows the U.S. convention for describing capacities.
+ Ultimate overload protection rating.
Dimensions (inches/mm)
* Dimensions using green pin shackles. Crosby shackles are available. Consult the factory for dimensions
For the Toughest Jobs you Face
Xtreme Engineering
Building a precision instrument that can survive real-world punishment requires masterful engineering. This is where Dillon’s experience shines through. The engineers assigned to the EDXtreme drew on a depth of industrial application knowledge and conducted exhaustive materials testing to achieve the highest structural integrity.
- Superior strength and corrosion resistance: High-capacity models are constructed of powder-coated aircraft-quality alloy steel. Lower capacity models are powder-coated aircraft-quality aluminum.
- 5:1 factor of safety*: This measure of strength and safety is maintained at all capacities. Computer modeling confirms the low stress and long product life that is inherent in the EDXtreme design.
- Retained hardware: Allows permanent attachment of centering spacers, which eliminates fumbling during high-capacity rigging.
- NEMA 4X/IP55: The EDXtreme is clearly the choice for reliability in any environment—in-plant or out on the job site.
- CE: Approval on all capacities excluding 550K.
Xtreme Accuracy: 0.1%
Xtreme Ease
- Exclusive SOFTKEY interface: Dillon has eliminated confusing menus for faster setup and simple operation. In addition to lbf, kgf, and Newtons, programmable functions can correct for gravitational variations and allow the use of custom units of measurement.
- Wide-angle, backlit LCD: Provides improved readability
over a wider viewing angle and has backlighting for low
light conditions. - Battery operation: The EDXtreme is powered by two standard C-cell batteries. Batteries are easily accessible for fast replacement.
