Calibration System F1S0AY5183A001
Summary
AI-generated · Aug 24, 2025Identify sources capable of supplying a Calibration System for the 412 TW at Edwards AFB, CA, designed to calibrate load cells, strain gauges, and linear displacement sensors. The system must fit within 65" H x 30" W x 28" D and provide up to 11,250 lbf of load capacity with 220 in-lb torsional capacity. Required accuracy includes 0.5% of reading for force, 0.0004" (or 0.05%) for displacement, and a maximum displacement of 46.8" with a 16.5" horizontal test space and up to 30 in/min speed. It must meet or exceed ISO 9513 for strain measurement, support 5 kHz data acquisition with six channels of simultaneous force, displacement, and strain measurements, and include 350-ohm strain gauge adapters for full and half-bridge configurations. The unit should operate from 120 VAC at 60 Hz (15–20 A) and come with load cells, testing adapters and fixture base plate, debris shield, and a touch panel PC with installed software; training, warranties, and installation support are included, and the system is described as similar to the Instron Model 68TM-50. This is a market research request, not a solicitation, and no contract will be awarded from this synopsis; delivery will be to Edwards AFB, CA.
Respondents should provide a concise information package including company name, SAM UEI and Cage Code, address, primary contacts, and evidence of experience delivering Calibration Systems; indicate business size and any disadvantaged status per FAR Part 19 and SAM, and describe relevant capabilities and past performance.
