Working Mechanism
- They operate on the principle of mechanical amplification and measurement of linear displacement.
- A typical dial indicator consists of a spindle that moves in response to the object being measured, causing a gear mechanism to rotate.
- This rotation is then translated into a linear movement of a needle or pointer on a dial face, providing a highly accurate and magnified reading of the displacement.
- These instruments are often used for tasks such as measuring variations in part dimensions, aligning machine components or checking the runout of rotating parts.
