Description
The Electro Scientific 88-4070 Dial Indicator is a precision instrument commonly used for measuring small distances or displacements in mechanical systems. It is often employed in manufacturing, engineering, and quality control environments to ensure precise alignment, positioning, and dimensional accuracy of components and assemblies. Here are its key specifications:
- Measurement Range: Offers a specific measurement range for distances or displacements, typically ranging from fractions of an inch to several inches or millimeters, depending on the model and application.
- Resolution: Provides high resolution in measurement readings, allowing users to detect small changes or variations in distances or displacements with precision.
- Dial Display: Features a dial display with a graduated scale and a pointer that indicates the measured value, providing a visual representation of the measurement for easy reading and interpretation.
- Accuracy: Offers high accuracy in measurement readings, typically with a class-leading accuracy class of 0.001 inches or better, ensuring reliable and precise results.
- Stem Length: Includes a stem or spindle that extends from the dial indicator’s body to reach the point of measurement, allowing users to access confined or hard-to-reach spaces for measurement purposes.
- Dial Face Size: Comes in various dial face sizes, ranging from compact sizes suitable for portable applications to larger sizes for enhanced readability and measurement range.
- Contact Point: Features a contact point or probe tip that makes direct contact with the object or surface being measured, ensuring accurate and repeatable measurements.
- Mounting Options: Provides mounting options such as magnetic bases, clamps, or stands for secure attachment to workpieces, fixtures, or measurement setups, enhancing stability and repeatability of measurements.
- Zero Adjustment: Includes zero adjustment or reset features to calibrate the dial indicator before measurements, eliminating errors due to offset or initial misalignment.
- Applications: Suitable for a wide range of applications including dimensional inspection, part alignment, machine setup, runout measurement, deflection testing, and quality assurance in mechanical engineering, machining, and manufacturing processes.
In summary, the Electro Scientific 88-4070 Dial Indicator is a versatile and reliable tool for precise distance and displacement measurements, offering high accuracy, resolution, and usability for a variety of mechanical measurement tasks in industrial and engineering settings.
