Micrometer Screw Gauge
Specifications of Micrometer Screw Gauge
Brass body, with steel screw of 0.5 mm pitch, thimble with ratchet stop, range 0 to 25 mm, reading to 0.01 mm, in plastic pouch.
Superior Build for Lasting PrecisionCrafted with a hardened steel frame and finished with satin chrome plating, the Micrometer Screw Gauge offers robustness and resistance to corrosion. Its flat carbide-tipped anvil and anti-rust epoxy frame ensure long-lasting accuracy, even in demanding industrial settings. These high-quality materials, combined with thoughtful design, enhance the gauges performance and reliability.
Effortless and Accurate Measurement ProcessThe micrometers ratchet stop ensures consistent measuring force, minimizing error due to user pressure. With a clear analog scale graduated at 0.01 mm, even the smallest measurements can be read with confidence. The lock nut enables you to hold and observe your results without slipping, streamlining the measurement workflow for professionals and hobbyists alike.
Versatility in Application and Manual UseThis manual, analog Micrometer Screw Gauge is perfect for measuring thickness or diameters of objects across various industries, including manufacturing, engineering, and quality control. Its lightweight, ergonomic design and C-shaped frame provide ease of use and stability, making it a preferred tool for those who require precise results repeatedly without electrical power.
FAQs of Micrometer Screw Gauge :
Q: How is the micrometer screw gauge used to measure small dimensions?
A: Place the object between the flat carbide-tipped anvil and the spindle, then rotate the knurled thimble until the object is gently secured. The ratchet stop ensures consistent measuring force. Once secure, read the measurement from the main scale and thimble scale for high precision.
Q: What type of materials and finishes ensure this gauges durability?
A: The micrometer features a hardened steel frame, satin chrome plating, and an anti-rust epoxy paint coating. The anvil is tipped with durable carbide, and plastic components are used for certain ergonomic features, ensuring both precision and long-term use.
Q: When should I use the lock nut on the micrometer screw gauge?
A: The lock nut should be engaged after reaching the desired measurement. This function secures the spindle in place, allowing you to safely record the value without risking movement or loss of accuracy.
Q: Where is this micrometer screw gauge commonly used?
A: It is widely utilized in manufacturing plants, metrology laboratories, engineering workshops, and educational institutions for tasks requiring extremely precise measurement of thickness or diameter.
Q: What are the benefits of the ratchet mechanism on the gauge?
A: The ratchet mechanism applies a consistent amount of force during measurement, reducing user-dependent variation and increasing the reliability and repeatability of results.
Q: How accurate are the measurements taken with this instrument?
A: The micrometer screw gauge provides measurements with an accuracy of 0.01 mm, enabling you to capture very fine dimensional differences reliably.
Q: What maintenance is recommended for longevity and precision?
A: Keep the gauge clean and dry after each use, store it in a protective case, and periodically check the spindle and anvil for debris or wear. Regular light oiling of moving parts (excluding the measuring faces) helps maintain smooth operation.
