Fowler 52-233-002 Parallax Free Outside Inch Micrometer, 1-2" Measuring Range, 0.0001" Resolution

Fowler 52-233 series parallax-free Vernier-scale micrometers have a choice of measuring range and a flat anvil/spindle pair for general purpose measuring. The Vernier scale has 0.0001" graduation intervals on one plane for parallax-free reading, and a satin chrome finish to reduce glare. The positive locking nut on the spindle locks measurements in place for accurate readings and the zero adjustment on the sleeve ensures accurate measurements. The ratchet-stop thimble provides an audible sound and stops turning when the spindle comes into contact with the workpiece, providing constant force for consistent measurements between operators. The heat-insulated frame helps reduce temperature-related expansion or contraction, providing accurate measurements, and protects the operator's hands from heat. The micrometer includes a wrench and fitted case. Micrometers 2" and above include a standard.SpecificationsDisplay type Vernier scale Anvil/spindle style Flat Measuring range Varies Graduation interval 0.0001" Thimble style RatchetMicrometers are precision measuring instruments that use a calibrated screw to measure distances. These measurements are translated into large rotations of the screw that are then able to be read from a scale or a dial. Micrometers are typically used in manufacturing, machining, and mechanical engineering. There are three types of micrometer: outside, inside, and depth. Outside micrometers may also be called micrometer calipers, and are used to measure the length, width, or outside diameter of an object. Inside micrometers are typically used to measure interior diameter, as in a hole. Depth micrometers measure the height, or depth, of any shape that has a step, groove, or slot.The Fred V. Fowler Company manufactures inspection and measurement instruments such as electronic indicators, calipers, bore gages, and digital scales. The company, founded in 1946, is headquartered in Newton, MA.What’s in the Box?Fowler 52-233 series outside inch micrometer Standard (for sizes 2" and above)Wrench Fitted case
