    Ratchet-Stop Thimble

    Plain Thimble

    Use these micrometer heads in jigs, fixtures, machine tools, movable tables, and other equipment that require precise adjustments. They are held in place by the cylindrical mounting hub using your existing brackets or fixtures. Spindle length is the maximum extended distance when the micrometer head is set at zero.
    Ratchet-Stop Thimble—Ratchet-stop thimbles have a constant-force mechanism to ensure repeatable measurements without relying on operator feel. They also have a speeder knob to reduce the time it takes to move the spindle. Once the spindle contacts the surface of the measured object, it will stop tightening, but the speeder knob will continue turning with a clicking sound.
    Plain Thimble—Plain thimbles turn freely without friction or a stopping device and rely on operator feel for accurate measurements.
    Nonrotating Spindle—Nonrotating spindles prevent scratches on delicate work surfaces and eliminate distortion of soft or elastic material.
    Round Spindle Tip—Round spindle tips minimize errors from misalignment, so they’re often used as feed devices.
    Clamp Nut—Clamp nuts securely hold the micrometer head and provide extra support.
    Locknuts—Locknuts lock the spindle in place.

    Precision-Adjust Micrometer Heads

    For near perfect positioning, the spindle on these micrometer heads moves in smaller increments than the spindle on any other micrometer head we offer. Mount them in equipment requiring extremely precise adjustments, such as positioning tables used in semiconductor manufacturing or in optical component alignment. They are held in place by the cylindrical mounting hub using your existing brackets or fixtures. For a tight hold and extra support, secure the clamp nut against the bracket or fixture on the mounting hub.
    Spindle length is the maximum extended distance when the micrometer head is set at zero.

    Mount these micrometer heads in jigs, fixtures, machine tools, movable tables, and other equipment that require precise adjustments. The friction thimble will turn with resistance as soon as the the spindle touches the object you're measuring, which helps you avoid overtightening. These heads are held in place by the cylindrical mounting hub using your existing brackets or fixtures. Spindle length is the maximum extended distance when the micrometer head is set at zero.
    The LCD display makes results easy to read. They have zero-position memory, also called absolute positioning (ABS), which keeps the micrometer in the same position after it is turned off. These micrometers have a zero-set button to start measuring at any point along the spindle, like pressing a tare button on a scale.
