Pesola Drag Pointer for Medio-Line Scales

The Pesola Drag Pointer fits all Medio-Line spring scales. The drag pointer features a plastic ring with smooth-gliding Teflon components and easily clips over the aluminium scale tube.

Before measuring, slide the drag pointer towards the zero position. As the load increases, the pointer moves along the tube and stops at the maximum load reached during the measurement.

The Drag Pointer is suitable for rupture tests up to 1000g. However the fine Micro Line scales are not designed for use with the drag pointers as possible friction may affect the measurement. 

Friction Force

The drag pointer creates a small friction force that must be deducted from the measured value when determining an absolute measurement:

• Immediately after first assembly: approximately 40g / 0.4N
• After 1 hour: approximately 35g / 0.35N
• After 1 day: approximately 28g / 0.28N

It is recommended after fitting a new drag pointer to allow it to remain on the scale tube for one day before its first use. This allows the friction force to settle to its lowest continuous level.
