Typical use: Load monitoring on towing straps connected to landing gear. Measuring force applied when recovering or de-bogging an aircraft requires ensuring the aircraft components aren’t overstressed during the process. With Intercomp tension link dynamometers, pulling force is measured so that operators can be sure they are operating within the allowed force range.

“When using the wireless handheld, force from multiple points can be monitored during the operation. Further, with the optional audible alarm for surpassing force limits, protecting the aircraft components is simplified.”

Tension links with simple wireless operation and easy-to-read display. Different aircraft types have different limits of force that can be applied, and with some manufacturers requiring any applied loads to the aircraft be measured, tension links become a valuable tool for any organization. Aircraft recovery manuals specify load limits that can be placed on different parts during recovery operations, which are taken into account when selecting the capacities that best ensures the safety of the aircraft and recovery crew.

Typical capacities used for aircraft recovery include 50,000lb (25,000kg), 100,000lb (50,000kg), and 160,000lb (80,000kg) tension links, and Intercomp can provide any combination of links and shackles that cover the types of aircraft in the fleet.
