Indicator Scale: Measurement Range 0-500 mm, Accuracy ±0.1 mm

Component Specifications

Definition

A calibrated visual indicator scale used in stroke length adjustment mechanisms to provide accurate measurement and reference points for setting and verifying the linear travel distance of mechanical components such as pistons, slides, or actuators. It typically consists of graduated markings on a durable substrate, often integrated with a pointer or digital readout system.

Working Principle

Operates by providing a fixed reference scale against which the position of a moving component can be measured. The scale markings correspond to specific linear displacement values, allowing operators to precisely set stroke length by aligning the mechanism's indicator with the desired graduation.

Materials

Anodized aluminum, stainless steel, tempered glass, or engineered polymers with laser-etched or printed markings for durability and legibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you calibrate an indicator scale?

Calibration involves comparing scale readings against a certified reference standard using precision measurement tools like laser interferometers or gauge blocks, typically performed annually or after significant impact.

Can indicator scales be customized for specific machines?

Yes, scales can be custom manufactured with specific ranges, graduations, mounting configurations, and material specifications to match unique machine requirements.
