Micrometers

     Micrometers are precision dimensional gaging instruments that consist of a C-shaped steel frame with a ground spindle and anvil. They are available in different variations such as Vernier scale, digital, and dial micrometers. These tools are used to provide accurate and quantitative measurements of various attributes of a product or component, including thickness, depth, height, length, I.D., O.D., roundness, or bore.

     There are specialized micrometers designed for specific applications, such as measuring threads, gear teeth, or tube wall thickness. Additionally, noncontact laser micrometers are available and are particularly effective in high-speed inline gaging applications.

     Here are some common types of micrometers:

     - External micrometers: Used to measure the outer diameter (OD) or outside features of a part or component.
     - Internal micrometers: Used to measure the inner diameter (ID) or inside features or cavities of a part or component.
     - Bore micrometers: Capable of measuring the inside diameter of a hole, bore, or blind hole at various depths.
     - Height micrometers: Specifically designed for height measurements.
     - Laser micrometers: Utilize optical, laser, or video-based technology for dimensional measurement.
     - Micrometer heads or jig borer micrometers: Consist of only the spindle and drum portion and are incorporated into microscopes, machine tools, or other metrological systems for precision measurement or positioning.
     - Thread micrometers: Specifically designed for measuring thread size, pitch, or other thread parameters.

     When specifying micrometers, important parameters to consider include the range (total range length) and resolution (minimum measurement increment). Micrometers can be configured to measure in either English or metric units, and the display options range from non-graduated to digital or analog displays, Vernier scales, column or bargraph displays, or remote displays.

     Micrometers feature cylindrical anvils and spindles with flat carbide or hardened steel contacting faces. Specialized anvils or spindles, such as ball anvil, blade or spade anvil, flange or disc anvil (for measuring gear teeth), pin or reduced face anvil, point anvil (for thread gaging), or v anvil or 3-point anvil, are also available. Mounting options for micrometers include handheld/portable, machine-mounted, benchtop/floor, or automatic/inline.

     Some micrometers come with plastic handles or holders, which serve as heat insulators to prevent measurement errors caused by the heat from a person's hand. Micrometers can also be designed for machine travel, where they are mounted on machines or built into products such as machine tools or microscopes that require precise dimensional measurement or position control.
