A. Product Overview
R-Tek Digital Vernier Calipers provide quick and convenient measurement of component dimensions using a digital display instead of requiring the operator to manually interpret a conventional vernier scale.
The R-Tek RK-508 is a plastic body digital vernier caliper with a 0 to 150 mm measuring range and stated resolution of 0.1 mm or 0.01 inch.
The R-Tek RK-517 is a professional grade digital vernier caliper featuring a full stainless steel body, enhanced large LCD display, 0 to 300 mm measuring range, 0.01 mm or 0.0005 inch resolution, zero function, data output and multiple measuring functions. It operates using a 1.5 V LR44 silver oxide battery.
These options allow users to select a digital caliper according to measuring range, construction and required measurement resolution.
B. Working Principle
A digital vernier caliper measures displacement as its sliding jaw moves along the main beam. The measuring jaws are positioned against or inside the component being inspected, and the instrument converts the jaw position into a numerical measurement displayed on the LCD.
Depending on the measurement task, the caliper can be positioned around a component or within an opening to determine dimensions. R-Tek digital models provide electronic zero setting, allowing the reading to be reset at a selected position for comparative measurements. Models such as the RK-517 also provide multiple measuring functions and data output capability.
The RK-517 specifies a repeatability of 0.01 mm and a maximum measuring speed of 1.5 metres per second, allowing measurements to be taken quickly during inspection work.
C. Why R-Tek Digital Vernier Calipers Are Used
Digital vernier calipers are used when technicians need faster and easier dimensional readings than those provided by manually interpreted measuring scales.
R-Tek Digital Vernier Calipers can be useful for:
- Checking component dimensions during manufacturing.
- Inspecting machined and fabricated parts.
- Measuring components during maintenance and repair.
- Performing dimensional quality control inspections.
- Checking engineering samples and prototypes.
- Taking measurements in workshops and laboratories.
- Comparing dimensions using the digital zero setting function.
- Measuring components where clear digital indication improves operator convenience.
The RK-517 is particularly suitable for applications requiring a wider measurement range, stainless steel construction and finer 0.01 mm resolution.
D. Suitable Buyers
R-Tek Digital Vernier Calipers are suitable for:
- Mechanical engineers
