A Digital Screw Gauge operates on the principle of a screw mechanism combined with a precision measuring scale. It consists of a measuring spindle that moves axially along the threaded screw when the object to be measured is placed between the anvil and spindle. As the spindle moves, it rotates the screw, and the displacement is converted into a digital measurement reading displayed on the screen.
The digital display of the screw gauge provides accurate and easy-to-read measurement readings, typically with a resolution of up to 0.001 mm or 0.0001 inches, depending on the model. Some advanced models may offer even higher resolutions for ultra-precision measurements.
Digital Screw Gauges often feature a fine adjustment mechanism, allowing users to finely adjust the position of the spindle for precise measurement. This feature is especially useful for measuring objects with tight tolerances or delicate surfaces.
These gauges come with various measurement modes, including absolute and incremental measurement modes, enabling users to choose the most suitable mode for their measurement requirements. Additionally, some models may feature data output capabilities, allowing measurement data to be transferred to a computer or other devices for further analysis and documentation.
Constructed from high-quality materials such as stainless steel or hardened alloy, Digital Screw Gauges are built to withstand rigorous use in industrial environments. Their durable construction ensures long-term reliability and accuracy in dimensional measurement tasks.
