EDxtreme Dynamometer

Definition

The EDxtreme is Dillon’s highest-capability electronic dynamometer line, designed for operations that require both precision force measurement and digital data management. Key features include real-time wireless data transmission, built-in data logging with time-stamped records, a large digital display readable in sunlight, and compatibility with the Communicator II remote display system for monitoring force data from a safe distance. Available in capacities reaching 550,000 lb — making it the instrument of choice for large-scale power line stringing, heavy crane operations, and high-load industrial testing. The EDxtreme accounts for approximately 12% of total worldwide Dillon sales, split between model AWT05-506304 (6%) and AWT05-506305 (6%).

Frequently Asked Questions

Why EDxtreme Dynamometer Matters

The EDxtreme is the answer when mechanical instruments are not sufficient and simple digital readout is not enough. Applications where the operator cannot safely stand near the measurement point, where records must be automatically generated, or where force data must be integrated into a compliance system all point to the EDxtreme.

How Dynamic Measurement Uses It

DMS stocks EDxtreme models and supports them with NIST-traceable calibration. The Communicator II sold by DMS is the companion remote display system that unlocks the EDxtreme's wireless monitoring capability.
