TreeQinetic Forcemeter with two shackles
The Forcemeter was designed to be used with iron shackles
exclusively
!
All other material like carabiners, ropes, hooks, so called soft shackles and others must not be
attached to the Forcemeter. Those may lead to inaccurate measurements or damage the instrument
(especially the spacer rings).
To avoid shear forces and measurement inaccuracies the forces must be introduced in line. The
ring-shaped spacers will centre the force gauge in the shackles. They cannot absorb forces.
Usually we recommend to use two commercial shackles for forces of 4,75t with a bolt diameter of
22mm and an opening width of 31mm. (3/4 inch WLL 4,75t; DIN EN 13889; RR-C-271)
If you require shackles with higher load capacity choose shackles made of iron which can be installed
in a straight line and transfer the load in the designated way. When in doubt contact argus electronic
for consulting or to acquire appropriate material.
Forcemeters ordered and manufactured in 2019 or later are delivered with two shackles “grade 10”
(usually orange coloured) with a working load of max 6.7 t. These shackles do not fit older
Forcemeters. If you need to upgrade an older Forcemeter to use with these shackles contact argus.
