Educational Benefits & Features
Feature: Integrated rachet stop mechanism.
Benefit: Ensures a uniform application of force during measurement, solving the problem of user-induced compressive deformation and allowing for repeatable results across different student groups.
Feature: Satin-chrome finish on sleeve and thimble.
Benefit: Reduces optical glare from laboratory lighting, which minimizes parallax error and eye strain when students are reading the 0.01-millimeter graduations.
Feature: Hardened stainless steel anvil and spindle faces.
Benefit: Prevents mechanical wear and surface oxidation from frequent use, ensuring the instrument maintains a true zero-point over years of institutional service.
Feature: Forged steel C-frame.
Benefit: Provides high structural rigidity and a low coefficient of thermal expansion, preventing measurement drift caused by changes in ambient laboratory temperature.
Feature: Precision-machined screw thread.
Benefit: Delivers smooth, linear movement without backlash, allowing students to experience the tactile feedback necessary for mastering high-fidelity metrology techniques.
