Linear accuracy meets the internationally used Deutsches Institute fur Normung 862: Vernier Callipers Requirements and Testing (DIN 862) standards. Induction-type linear encoder system offers high precision in measurements by tracking small movements in position by using a conductor moving through a magnetic field. The outside measuring jaws on this calliper are approximately 2-1/2” (63.5 mm) long, while the inside measuring jaws are approximately 3/4” (19 mm) long.
