Analogue gauges

Analogue dial gauges are essential tools for machine shops, mainly used for precision measurements and quality control. These measuring instruments allow the detection of minimal deviations in mechanical components, guaranteeing machining accuracy and compliance with required standards.

Analogue dial gauges, also known as dial gauges or dial indicators, are measuring instruments that use a dial with a pointer to display deviations from a reference measurement. These devices are used to check the straightness, flatness, roundness and other dimensional characteristics of mechanical parts.

There are several variants of analogue dial gauges, such as dial gauges, dial gauges with a contact lever and dial gauges with a magnetic holder.

Advantages of analogue dial gauges

- High accuracy: They allow extremely accurate measurements, which are essential for quality control in machine shops.
- Reliability: Their robust construction makes them resistant to harsh environmental conditions, ensuring a long service life.
- Ease of use: Reading the dial is intuitive, allowing operators to obtain immediate results.
- Versatility: They can be used in a variety of applications, from measuring the flatness of surfaces to concentricity checks.

Key features

- Graduated scale: Typically, the scale has 0.01 mm divisions, allowing precise reading of deviations.
- Robustness: The materials used in the construction, such as stainless steel, guarantee long life and resistance to wear.
- Magnetic holder: Some models are equipped with a magnetic holder that facilitates stable positioning of the instrument during measurement.
- Contact lever: The presence of a contact lever allows measurements to be taken in places that are difficult to access with other instruments.

In machine shops, analogue dial gauges are used for various quality control operations. For example, they can be used to measure the flatness of machined surfaces, check the concentricity of turned parts and check the wear of cutting tools.

Analog dial gauges are indispensable tools for machine shops, offering precision, reliability and versatility in measurements. Their adoption makes it possible to guarantee high quality standards and avoid costly machining errors.
