Our Clamprite CAPTO Drawbar Gage Kits provide an easy, accurate, and economical method of checking the drawbar force of a spindle. CAPTO C3, C4, C5, C6, C8 Spindles require checking the drawbar frequently not to mention takes less then a minute. Having a clamp force dynomometer can save huge costs including spindles, downtime, paid service and loss of tool life. A spindle clamp force gage is also commonly known as a spindle drawbar dynomometer. Our Clamprite gage kits are furnish
ed in a metal tool box which include the gage head, a spindle adapter, and coupling that accepts the pull studs. Collect pull studs from each of your machines and store them in the clamprite box for easy access. The clamprite universal head adapts to all the CAPTO sizes, including CAPTO 03, 04, 05, 06, 08. Select your clamprite Dynamometer kit by spindle type and maximum pressure. Order additional clamprite adapters below if you already have a drawbar Dynomometer.
Digital dynamometers cost three times as much and are more delicate and prone to problems when they are dropped or used during machine repair. Our units are almost solid steel except for the gauge itself.

Pressure gauge size when ordering: Though you can read smaller spindles with a higher pressure gage. If you know you are only going to use the head within a specific pressure it is better to select the lower gage to have a finer visual resolution.
Why is a Clamprite Drawbar Dynamometer a must have tool for every machine shop?
- Cost of new spindle
- Service repair cost
- Why the accuracy isn't any good
- Out of tolerance scrap parts
- Shipping bad parts to your customer (Priceless!)
- Excessive tool and insert consumption
- Possible injury of employee if/when tool is thrown
- Emergency service
- Most service companies may not have this tool in their van when they come, which means they are looking for other problems. This check takes less then 1 minute to perform if you have the right tool you can save the service call.
- Ever wonder why you can't run some jobs on certain machines? It could be the drawbar force is low.
