Digital Dial Gauge

Dial gauge that includes a tolerance setting function ideal for inspections.

  • With tolerance setting function. Ideal for inspection as it can quickly and intuitively confirm pass/fail with colored “OK” or “NG” illuminated display.
  • With preset function.
  • With sleep mode function. (Approximately 20 minutes)
  • Minimum display switchable between 0.01 and 0.001 mm.
  • Used for displacement measurements such as plane contour, workpiece mounting quality evaluation, shaft runout and perpendicularity, etc.

Description

There are several variables in dial indicators:

  • Analog versus digital/electronic readout (most are analog)
  • Dial size. Typically referred to be American Gauge Design Specification (AGD):
AGD Diameter range (in) Diameter range (mm)
0 1 > 1-⅜ 25 > 35
1 1-⅜ > 2 tall Mia 35 > 50
2 2 > 2-⅜ 50 > 60
3 2-⅜ > 3 60 > 75
4 3 > 3-¾ 76 > 95
  • Accuracy
  • Range of travel
  • Number of dial revolutions
  • Dial style: balanced (e.g., −15 to 0 to +15) or continuous (e.g., 0 to 30)
  • Graduation style: positive numbers (clockwise) or negative numbers (counterclockwise)
  • Revolution counters, which show the number of revolutions of the principal needle.
