About Fowler 52-030-012 Stainless Steel Inch/Metric
The Fowler Dual Reading stainless steel dial caliper has dial graduations of 0.001" and 0.02mm with 0.001" and 0.02mm accuracy, reads in both standard and metric units, has a sliding jaw with a lock, and a covered rack. The knurled lock screw holds the sliding jaw in position and helps 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. This caliper is used for measuring inside dimensions (ID), outside dimensions (OD), depth, and step.The caliper measures 0.10" and 2mm per revolution of the dial. The white dial has 0.001" graduations in black and 0.02mm graduations in red, and the beam has engraved 0.10" and 1mm graduations. The hardened stainless steel components, including the bar, 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. Spring anti-backlash control offers increased accuracy over standard gear configurations. Backlash is the amount of clearance between mated gear teeth in the caliper 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 minimize or eliminate backlash; spring anti-backlash systems use a spring to add a compressive force, thereby minimizing backlash. The hardened stainless steel is polished to a satin chrome finish, to help prevent glare. This caliper comes with a fitted case.Dial calipers 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
