MNM Comp-3K-0.2 3,000 lb x 0.2 lb LP7515 Compression Scale Guide
The MNM Comp-3K-0.2 is a calibrated 3,000 lb x 0.2 lb compression-force package with an alloy-steel NTEP S-type load cell, LP7515 LCD indicator, eye bolts, AC adapter and battery power. MNM advertises Peak Hold, tare, auto hold, lb/kg/oz units, blue backlight and a stainless mounting bracket.
Why choose 3,000 lb x 0.2 lb
This range fits industrial spring, actuator and press-fixture work that exceeds a 1,000 or 2,000 lb system but still benefits from a display finer than 0.5 or 1 lb. The 0.2 lb increment is an indication step, not a guarantee of total system accuracy. Fixture stiffness and calibration quality remain critical.
Package features
The listing states the system is calibrated and ready to use, with LP7515 indicator, six-digit 0.7-inch LCD, blue backlight, tare and auto hold, selectable kg/lb/oz, AC adapter or three AA batteries, low-power and overload indication, and one-year warranty. Verify the exact connector and RS-232 configuration on the supplied indicator.
Installation
Use a rigid frame and aligned compression contacts. Prevent the S-beam from twisting or bending, guard stored-energy components, provide a mechanical travel stop and keep the cable away from moving tooling. Cycle the fixture before verification so threaded joints and contact surfaces settle.
Applications
The Comp-3K-0.2 can support die and mold spring checks, industrial coil comparison, actuator thrust, clamp-force verification, hydraulic or arbor press process monitoring, assembly fixture qualification and controlled component compression. Use Peak Hold for brief maximum-force events and live readings for force-versus-position testing.
Maintenance and troubleshooting
Inspect eye bolts, adapters, cable and fixture alignment. Check zero before critical tests. Unstable readings often come from vibration, loose tooling, batteries or electrical noise. Poor return to zero suggests mechanical binding or overload. If the result changes when the part is repositioned, improve contact geometry before recalibrating.
