STANDARD CALIPER TYPE MICROMETERS
PRECISION Thickness MEASURING
Mechanical Caliper-Type Micrometers are precision measuring tools used to measure the distance between two opposing surfaces with high accuracy. They are commonly used in machining, engineering, and manufacturing applications to ensure precise measurements of components or parts.
A Mechanical Caliper-Type Micrometer consists of a frame, an anvil, a spindle, a thimble, and a measuring jaw. The anvil is fixed to the frame, while the spindle is movable and threaded. The measuring jaw is attached to the spindle and is used to measure the distance between the opposing surfaces.
The spindle is rotated using the thimble, which moves the spindle towards or away from the anvil, allowing the user to measure the distance between the measuring jaw and the anvil. The measuring scale is located on the thimble and is used to read the measurement result. The scale typically has markings indicating the distance being measured in micrometers or thousandths of an inch.
Mechanical Caliper-Type Micrometers are available in various types and sizes, including outside micrometers, inside micrometers, and depth micrometers. Outside micrometers are used to measure the outside diameter of an object, inside micrometers are used to measure the inside diameter of a hole, and depth micrometers are used to measure the depth of a hole or slot.
Overall, Mechanical Caliper-Type Micrometers are highly precise and accurate measuring tools that are essential in many industries. They provide accurate measurements of the distance between opposing surfaces, making them a valuable tool for quality control and precision machining.
