Description
CAMTOP 6″ Tong Line Pull Indicator — Real-Time Line-Pull Monitoring
The CAMTOP Tong Line Pull Indicator is a precision hydraulic dial gauge system designed to display the actual line-pull force exerted on the tong assembly during make-up and break-out operations. Featuring a large 6-inch (152 mm) easy-read gauge coupled with a 4.08 SQ. IN. hydraulic tension cylinder, this unit provides rig floor personnel with the visual feedback needed to apply the correct torque / line-pull values — preventing both over-pull (which damages tool joints) and under-pull (which leads to improper make-ups).
Engineered for harsh drilling environments, the CAMTOP indicator is rated for continuous duty on rig floors and is fully compatible with all major hydraulic power tong systems (casing tongs, tubing tongs, drill-pipe tongs). The fluid-filled dampener mechanism absorbs pressure spikes, while the precision-bored cylinder ensures repeatable accuracy across the full 0 – 18,000 lbs scale.

Key Features
- 6″ Large Dial Gauge — High-visibility white face with bold 0–18,000 lbs scale, designed for fast readout from 5+ meters away on the rig floor
- 4.08 SQ. IN. Tension Cylinder — Compact hydraulic actuator generates measurable fluid pressure proportional to tong line-pull force
- Direct Hydraulic Coupling — 1/4″ hose connection (HSS-025, 5,800 PSI) transmits cylinder pressure instantly to the gauge with minimal lag
- 6-Bolt Mounting Bracket (BR600) — Heavy-duty steel bracket allows rigid mounting on tong frames, catwalks, or dedicated indicator stands
- Stainless Steel Hose (HSS-025) — 1/4″ × 25″ hydraulic hose rated 5,800 PSI; withstands abrasion and chemical exposure
- Hand Pump Bleed Port (HJA2) — Allows fast air-bleeding and zero-calibration of the system during rig-up
- Quartz Face with Anti-Glare Coating — Maintains readability in direct sunlight or harsh rig-floor lighting
- Shock-Resistant Internals — Glycerin-filled dial mechanism dampens vibration spikes during slug-pulling or jarring
- Universal Compatibility — Works with all CAMTOP and most competitor hydraulic power tongs (casing, tubing, drill-pipe)
- Compact Field-Serviceable Design — Only 10 line-item parts; gauges, hoses, and cylinder can be replaced in 15 minutes with basic hand tools

Working Principle
The CAMTOP Tong Line Pull Indicator operates on a hydraulic load-cell principle. The tension cylinder (CY100, 4.08 SQ. IN. piston area) is installed in-line with the tong’s pull cable / wire-line. As the tong applies pulling force, the cylinder generates internal hydraulic pressure proportional to the load (P = F / A, where A = 4.08 in²). This pressure is transmitted via the stainless steel hose (HSS-025) to the 6″ dial gauge (G65H), which is factory-calibrated to convert pressure directly into line-pull force readings on the 0–18,000 lbs scale.
The hand pump (HJA2) is used during rig-up to bleed air from the system and to set the gauge to zero. The fluid indicator fluid (F200, 1 quart) is a low-viscosity, anti-foam hydraulic oil formulated for stable pressure readings across the full operating temperature range.
