Analogue calipers

Precision analogue gauges are an essential tool in machine shops, where accurate measurement is essential to ensure the quality and reliability of finished products. These instruments, also known as slide gauges, are used to measure linear dimensions, such as lengths, inside and outside diameters, and depths, with a high degree of accuracy. Their importance is such that, without them, many quality control and production operations could not be carried out as effectively.

The importance of analogue precision gauges in machine shops

In machine shops, precision is everything. Every component must be manufactured to very tight tolerances to ensure that it fits its purpose perfectly. Precision analogue gauges are essential tools in this context, as they enable accurate and repeatable measurements. Their robust construction and ease of use make them ideal for the shop floor environment, where they can be exposed to harsh conditions.

How precision analogue gauges work

Precision analogue gauges work through a system of graduated scales and a nonius, which allows measurements to be read with an accuracy of up to 0.02 millimetres. The nonius is a secondary scale that runs along the main scale of the gauge, allowing the fraction of division between two notches on the main scale to be determined. This system, although it may seem complex, is actually very intuitive once you become familiar with it.

Advantages of using analogue gauges

One of the main advantages of analogue precision gauges is their reliability. Unlike digital gauges, they do not require batteries, which makes them always ready for use. In addition, their mechanical construction makes them less susceptible to electronic failure. They are also less expensive than digital gauges, making them an economical choice for many workshops. Their robustness and ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions make them ideal for everyday use in the workshop.

Correct use of analogue precision gauges

To obtain accurate measurements, it is essential to use precision analogue gauges correctly. First of all, it is important to ensure that the gauge is clean and free of debris that could affect the measurement. Also, it is essential to apply constant pressure while measuring to avoid deforming the workpiece. Finally, it is important to read the nonius correctly to obtain the most accurate measurement possible.

Frequently asked questions about analogue precision gauges

One of the most common questions concerns the difference between analogue and digital gauges. While digital gauges offer a direct and often faster reading, analogue gauges are preferred for their reliability and durability. Another frequently asked question concerns maintenance: analogue gauges require minimal maintenance, but it is important to keep them clean and lubricated to ensure optimal functioning.

Conclusion

Precision analogue gauges are indispensable tools in machine shops. Their ability to provide accurate and reliable measurements makes them an excellent choice for anyone working in mechanical engineering. With proper maintenance and use, these instruments can last for many years and offer excellent value for money. Their simplicity and robustness make them an ideal choice for anyone looking for a reliable and accurate measuring instrument.
