OUTSIDE SPRING CALIPER 150MM RANGE 0-140MM

An Outside Spring Caliper is a mechanical measuring tool used to measure the external dimensions of an object,such as the outside diameter or thickness of a part. It is commonly used in metalworking, woodworking, and othercrafts to take accurate measurements and transfer dimensions between tools or workpieces. The spring mechanismprovides tension, allowing the user to finely adjust the legs of the caliper for precise measurements.

Applications

1. Metalworking and Machining:

   • Checking Diameters: Commonly used to check theoutside diameter of cylindrical objects like pipes, rods, or turnedcomponents on a lathe.
   • Machining Tolerances: Helps machinists maintaintight tolerances during the machining process by taking quickcomparative measurements.

2. Woodworking:

   • Measuring Thickness: In woodworking, it is used tomeasure the thickness of wooden parts or ensure consistency when shapinground or curved surfaces.
   • Turning Operations: Frequently used duringwoodturning operations to measure the diameter of turned pieces on alathe.

3. Craftsmanship:

   • Handcrafted Items: Used by artisans andcraftspeople to measure and transfer dimensions when creating custompieces or duplicating parts.

4. Inspection and Quality Control:

   • Comparative Measurement: Used in quality control tocompare the size of a finished workpiece to a standard or template.

Key Features

1. Spring Mechanism:

   • Smooth Adjustment: The caliper features a strong spring mechanism that provides tension between the two legs. This spring allows for smooth and controlled adjustments when measuring.
   • Consistent Pressure: The spring ensures consistent pressure when measuring the outside of a workpiece, helping to improve measurement accuracy.

2. Curved Legs:

   • External Measurement: The two curved legs of the caliper are designed to measure the external dimensions of round objects, such as shafts, cylinders, and pipes. The legs are placed around the object, and the measurement is taken by adjusting the span.

3. Locking Nut or Screw:

   • Position Lock: Once the desired span is achieved, the caliper has a locking nut or screw that allows the user to lock the legs in place. This ensures that the measurement remains consistent and can be transferred or repeated easily.

4. Durable Construction:

   • Hardened Steel: Most outside spring calipers are made from hardened steel or other durable materials, making them resistant to wear and able to maintain precision over time.
   • Corrosion Resistant: The material is often treated to resist corrosion, making the caliper suitable for use in workshop environments where it may be exposed to oil, grease, or moisture.

5. Various Sizes:

   • Available in Different Ranges: Outside spring calipers come in various sizes, with different measuring ranges to accommodate small or large workpieces.
