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.

Plain thimbles turn freely without friction or a stopping device and rely on operator feel for accurate measurements.

Ratchet-stop thimbles have a constant-force mechanism for repeatable measurements without relying on user feel. A speeder knob reduces the time it takes to open and close the micrometer. When the spindle stops tightening, the thimble stops turning, but the speeder knob will continue turning with a clicking sound.

Nonrotating spindles prevent scratches on delicate work surfaces and eliminate distortion of soft or elastic material.

Round spindle tips reduce errors from misalignment, so they’re often used as feed devices.

Clamp nuts securely hold the micrometer head and provide extra support. Locknuts lock the spindle in place.

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. Their round spindle tip minimizes alignment errors. The thimble turns freely without friction or a stopping device, so they rely on user feel. 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.
