FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the shockproof dial?

The shockproof dial protects the internal mechanism from damage caused by accidental impacts, ensuring greater durability and consistent accuracy in demanding environments.

What material is the caliper made of?

The caliper is made of Stainless Steel, providing excellent durability and resistance to corrosion.

How do I set the zero point on the dial caliper?

Close the jaws completely. If the dial does not show zero, use the adjustment screw located near the dial to align the indicator hand with the zero mark.

What is the measurement capacity of this caliper?

This caliper has a measurement range of 200mm.

Can this caliper be used for outdoor or dusty environments?

While the stainless steel construction is robust, care should be taken to keep the dial mechanism free from dust and debris, and to clean it regularly. The shockproof feature offers some protection against minor impacts.

What does the blue anodized bezel do?

The blue anodized bezel adds a distinctive aesthetic to the caliper and provides an additional layer of protection to the dial housing.

Is this a digital caliper?

No, this is a mechanical dial caliper. It uses a dial indicator to display measurements rather than a digital screen.

Troubleshooting

Dial does not return to zero

Ensure the caliper jaws are completely closed. If the issue persists, check for debris between the jaws or recalibrate using the adjustment screw near the dial. If damage is suspected, professional servicing may be required.

Stiff movement of jaws

Clean the measuring surfaces and the slide mechanism with a dry cloth. If stiffness remains, a very small amount of specialized instrument lubricant can be applied to the slide, but avoid over-application which can attract dirt.

Inconsistent readings

Verify that the measuring surfaces are clean and free from burrs or debris. Ensure the caliper is held perpendicular to the surface being measured. Check that the dial indicator is functioning correctly and has not been damaged by impact.

Pros and Cons

  • Shockproof dial mechanism enhances reliability and ease of use.
  • Clear, easy-to-read dial face for quick measurements.
  • Suitable for a wide range of precision measuring tasks.
  • Distinctive blue anodized bezel.

Cons

  • Anodized bezel may be susceptible to scratches in abrasive environments.

  • Not a digital caliper, requiring manual reading and interpretation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The caliper is ready for use out of the box. To set zero, close the jaws completely. If the dial does not read zero, use the adjustment screw located near the dial to align the indicator hand with zero. Ensure the measurement jaws are clean before each use.

Compatibility: This is a mechanical measuring instrument and is compatible with standard workshop practices. It does not require batteries or electronic connections.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the caliper clean with a soft, dry cloth after each use. For stubborn dirt, use a cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution, ensuring no liquid enters the dial mechanism. Always dry thoroughly.
  2. Storage: Store the caliper in its protective case or a clean, dry drawer to prevent dust accumulation and potential damage.
  3. Handling: Avoid dropping the caliper or exposing it to excessive force, especially when the jaws are open or closed, to protect the shockproof mechanism and maintain accuracy.
