Micrometer and Positioner Heads

These micrometer and positioner heads, which can be connected to the firm's digital readouts, help provide consistent measurement performance by providing instant inch/metric conversion, zero reset, and absolute/relative measurement.

The micrometer heads are balanced over the full measurement range to maintain high performance. The thimble and barrel are made of high tensile strength aluminum alloy. They have an anodized finish with engraved vernier graduations in contrasting colors; no vernier graduations are provided on positioner heads. Each hardened steel lead screw and carbide tip is individually calibrated to specified tolerances.

In addition, each micrometer head comes with a non-rotating spindle that allows consistent measurements while the thimble is being rotated. A flat carbide tip is standard. Spindles can be drilled and tapped on custom orders to accommodate specially designed probes or anvils.

Applications include use as a measuring standard in calibration labs, small parts inspection, industrial quality control microscope measurement (such as magnetic tape head production or fuel cell dimensioning), and optical comparator measurement.

Features include anti-backlash design, measurements traceable to NIST, and remote zero reset on positioner heads.
