Dillon Force Measurement
Definition
Dillon Force Measurement is the manufacturer of the dynamometer and force gauge product lines that Dynamic Measurement Systems distributes. Dillon has been producing force measurement equipment for over 75 years and is recognized as the leading brand for mechanical spring-dial dynamometers in North America — particularly the AP series, which is the industry standard tool for power line tensioning and heavy industrial force measurement. Their product portfolio includes mechanical AP dynamometers (5-inch and 10-inch dial), EDJR and EDxtreme electronic dynamometers, Model X and Model U force gauges, Quick-Check tension meters, Communicator II wireless data systems, crane scales, and accessories. Dynamic Measurement Systems is the largest single-volume Dillon distributor, representing approximately 25% of Dillon’s total product sales. DMS’s exclusive focus on the Dillon product line — rather than distributing multiple competing brands — means their technical knowledge, calibration methods, and repair capabilities are all built around Dillon’s specific designs, materials, and tolerances.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why Dillon Force Measurement Matters
How Dynamic Measurement Uses It
Dynamic Measurement Systems is a single-brand Dillon specialist. Every product DMS sells, calibrates, and repairs is a Dillon instrument, meaning their expertise is built entirely around Dillon designs, tolerances, and materials. When a customer calls DMS with a question about a Dillon AP model, they reach a person who has serviced hundreds of identical units. This relationship provides DMS customers with direct access to manufacturer-level product knowledge and preferred access to inventory.
