Product details:
The Fowler Shockproof stainless steel dial calliper has dial graduations of 0cm with 0cm and accuracy, shockproof anti-backlash control, a sliding jaw with a lock, and a covered rack. This calliper is used for measuring inside dimensions (ID), outside dimensions (OD), depth, and step. This product has a offered by Fowler High Precision. Shockproof spring anti-backlash control with a heavy-duty spring offers increased accuracy over standard gear configurations. Backlash is the amount of clearance between mated gear teeth in the calliper controls that prevents the gear teeth from jamming. It is undesirable to have much backlash due to the lack of precision offered by the increased amount of play between gears. Certain gear designs can minimise or eliminate backlash; spring anti-backlash systems use a spring to add a compressive force, thereby minimising backlash. This calliper has a knurled lock screw to hold the sliding jaw in position and help ensure a consistent measurement. A covered rack prevents dirt and debris from clogging the gear, and helps prevent measurement errors. A thumb-operated fine adjustment roller allows for one-handed use. The calliper measures 0.3cm per revolution of the dial. The dial has 0cm graduations, and the beam has engraved 0.3cm graduations. The hardened stainless steel components, including the beam, measuring surfaces, rack, gears, and depth rod, offer corrosion resistance, increased accuracy, and long life. Self-contained movement eliminates gear misalignment, while the dual pinion drive mechanism reduces wear on the rack and pinion. An adjustable dial enables setting zero. The hardened stainless steel is polished to a satin chrome finish, to help prevent glare. This calliper comes with a fitted case. Dial callipers are measuring instruments commonly used for inspection in manufacturing to provide the precise measurements of an object. A pair of jaws attached to a long beam with a marked scale is used to measure inside, outside, and step measurements in standard or metric units. An
