Features

  • These dail indicators are designed to measure small linear displacements or variations with high accuracy & repeatability.
  • They feature chrome / blue finishes, providing versatility in both functionality and appearance.
  • These indicators feature a dial display that makes it easy to read and interpret measurements, with a large clear dial face and a rotating needle.
  • Westward dail test indicators have jewelled bearing type to ensure increased durability, enhanced sensitivity and low maintenance. These indicators come in white colour dial to provide clear & easily readable measurements and improve visibility.

Working Mechanism

  • They operate on the principle of mechanical amplification and measurement of linear displacement.
  • A typical dial indicator consists of a spindle that moves in response to the object being measured, causing a gear mechanism to rotate.
  • This rotation is then translated into a linear movement of a needle or pointer on a dial face, providing a highly accurate and magnified reading of the displacement.
  • These instruments are often used for tasks such as measuring variations in part dimensions, aligning machine components or checking the runout of rotating parts.
