A dial gauge is a measuring instrument used to measure the dimensional accuracy of products and the static and dynamic accuracy of facilities and equipment. When the probe is applied to the object, the needle swings and points to the scale. A dial gauge cannot measure actual dimensions.
However, it is suitable for viewing the difference from a reference dimension, and its main purpose is to measure how much difference there is in the finished dimension when the reference dimension is set to zero. There are two types of dial gauges, the lever type, and the spindle type. It is necessary to use the appropriate type according to the purpose of use.
Dial gauges are basically used by fixing them to a stand or jig.
The stand is often called a magnetic stand, and the base part has a magnet attached to it. The stand is fixed by magnetic force.
The arm part can be moved relatively freely by loosening the tightening screw. Therefore, consider the installation posture and place the stylus on the object to be measured. Regarding the application of the stylus, the lever type should be applied parallel to the object to be measured, while the spindle type should be applied perpendicular to the object to be measured.
When selecting dial gauges, first select either the lever type or the spindle type.
The lever type is suitable for measuring the static accuracy of equipment, while the spindle type is suitable for measuring dimensional accuracy. When measuring dynamic accuracy, the spindle type is easier to measure where there is a lot of movement.
