Key benefits Reliable, repeatable measurements: tungsten carbide anvil and precision spindle deliver consistent contact surfaces for accurate readings over time. Controlled measuring force: ratchet pin handle ensures the same applied force every time, reducing measurement variation from over- or under-tightening. Durable construction: stainless steel body with high-strength mechanical properties resists wear and maintains alignment in shop environments. Versatile use: functions as an outside-diameter micrometer and a thickness measuring tool for accurate length, diameter, and thickness checks. What makes this micrometer stand out Tungsten carbide anvil for long-term wear resistance and stable reference surfaces. High-accuracy spindle and precise main shaft adjustment for fine, reliable readings. Ratchet pin handle for repeatable contact force, improving measurement consistency. Robust stainless steel construction for strength and durability in frequent use. How it solves common problems Eliminates inconsistent readings caused by variable hand pressure through the ratchet mechanism. Reduces rework and rejects by providing precise measurements of critical dimensions. Minimizes wear-related drift with a carbide anvil, extending the tool’s useful life and preserving accuracy. Features and functions Measurement method: place the workpiece between the spindle and the anvil and adjust the main shaft to obtain the reading. Primary applications: outer diameter micrometer and thickness measuring ruler. Materials: ultra-hard tungsten carbide anvil; high-strength stainless steel body. Usability: designed for straightforward operation with accurate spindle control and a ratchet pin handle for consistent force application. Typical use scenarios Machine shop quality control: inspecting shaft diameters, turned parts, and precision components before assembly. Metal fabrication and maintenance: checking sheet thickness, small plates, and pressed parts to verify tolerances. Mechanical repair and inspection: measuring bearings, bushings, and mating surfaces to confirm wear limits or replacement needs. Notes for users Always place the measured object squarely between the spindle and the anvil. Use the ratchet pin to apply the final contact force for repeatable results. Keep contact surfaces clean and free of debris to preserve accuracy and avoid damage. This tool provides accurate, durable measurement capability for professionals needing reliable checks of length, diameter, and thickness in manufacturing, repair, and inspection tasks.
