Outside Micrometers with Counter – Precision External Measurement Tools

Outside micrometers with a counter are advanced measuring instruments designed for accurately measuring the external dimensions of shafts, rods, and other cylindrical components. These micrometers feature a mechanical or digital counter for direct, easy-to-read measurements, making them ideal for high-precision tasks in quality control, machining, and manufacturing environments.

Equipped with hardened steel frames, carbide-tipped measuring faces, and ratchet stop mechanisms, these micrometers ensure repeatable and reliable measurements even under continuous industrial use.

Key Features of Outside Micrometers with Counter

Built-in Mechanical or Digital Counter

For fast and direct measurement readings.

Carbide Measuring Faces

Wear-resistant and accurate for long-term precision.

Ratchet Stop or Friction Thimble

Ensures consistent measuring force for repeatability.

Rigid Frame Construction

Provides durability and stability during measurements.

 Applications of Outside Micrometers with Counter

  • Machine Shops: Measuring shafts, pins, and machined parts.
  • Quality Control Labs: Ensuring external tolerances of manufactured parts.
  • Automotive Industry: Inspecting components like brake discs, pistons, and axles.
  • Metalworking: Measuring thickness and diameter of fabricated materials.
  • Educational Institutes: Practical tool for precision measurement training.

 How to Use Outside Micrometers with Counter

  1. Select the Right Size Range: Choose the micrometer suited to your measurement size.
  2. Zero the Micrometer: Calibrate using a gauge block or standard reference.
  3. Position the Micrometer: Place it on the part to be measured.
  4. Use the Ratchet/Friction Thimble: Gently rotate until the measuring faces contact the object.
  5. Read the Measurement: View the result directly from the counter (or the scale).
  6. Clean and Store: Wipe clean and keep in a protective case after use.
