Starrett 762MEXFL-50 Digital Micrometer Head, Non-Rotating Spindle, 0-50mm Range, 0.001mm Graduation, +/-0.003mm Accuracy, Friction Thimble, Lock Nut, Carbide Face

The Starrett digital micrometer head has a digital single-value LCD display that displays in inches and metric units with a resolution of 0.01 cm (0.01 mm), a scaled foot scale graduated in metric units, and a knurled nut ring to hold the measurements in place. It has a plain rod for mounting in a template with a split-body clamp or threaded rod. The micrometer has a face plate for measuring or using it as a stop, and is carbide for wear resistance and micro-lapped to provide you with accuracy. The micrometer is available with a rotation of the spindle to avoid wearing it on the micrometer electronic microprocessor can contain measurements at any position, convert to absolute value, set a temporary position zero, and return to a true zero reading. It also has a preset to install a playback at all positions. The micrometer has statistical Process Control (SPC) data output to transmit the results to an external computer or device. The output jack transmits the resulting cps to a computer via an interface cable (sold separately). The micrometer includes, and is powered by, with a single CR2450 lithium battery. Micrometers are precision measuring instruments that use a calibrated screw to measure small distances. These measurements are converted into large rotations of the screw which are then able to read from a scale or dial. Micrometers are generally used in manufacturing, machining and mechanical engineering. There are three types of micrometers: outside, inside, and depth. Outside micrometers can also be called micrometer calipers, and are used to measure the length, width or outer diameter of an object. Inside micrometers are usually used to measure the inner diameter, such as in a hole. Depth micrometers measure the height, or depth, of any shape that has a step, groove, or slot. Micrometer heads are for mounting in flanges, where they are usually used for measurement, or as stops or wires.
