Caliper Gimex model 201.154 — 400 mm tracer caliper, 0.05 mm resolution, carbide scriber

Gimex 201.154 is a 400 mm tracer caliper combining an analog-style vernier appearance with digital precision. It performs external, internal and depth measurements with a resolution of 0.05 mm and includes a carbide scriber tip for durable marking and reliable contact on metal and other hard surfaces. The caliper is intended for workshop and inspection use where accurate linear measurement and occasional scribing are required.

Advantages

The caliper offers fine measurement resolution of 0.05 mm for repeatable readings and a hardened carbide tracer that resists wear during marking and contact with abrasive materials. Its 400 mm measuring range covers a wide variety of parts, and the design supports external, internal and depth measurement modes for versatile use. The tool is compact enough for bench and portable inspection tasks and is compatible with standard workshop workflows.

Suitable for

• Workshop inspection and routine quality checks of mechanical parts
• Metalworking and fabrication where marking and precise linear measurement are needed
• Maintenance and repair tasks requiring internal, external and depth measurements
• Measuring shafts, holes, blocks and other components up to 400 mm

Key specifications

• Measuring range: 0–400 mm
• Resolution: 0.05 mm
• Measurement modes: external, internal, depth
• Tracer tip material: carbide (scribing/marking)
• Scale type: analog-style with precise reading mechanism

How to use

Position the caliper jaws around or inside the feature to be measured and slide the movable jaw until secure contact is made without applying excessive force. For depth measurements, extend the depth rod into the feature and read the value once the base rests flat on the reference surface. Use the carbide tracer tip to scribe light marks by applying controlled pressure while holding the tool steady. Read the measurement from the scale or digital readout according to the instrument's design and ensure the caliper is zeroed before critical measurements.

Usage recommendations

Clean measuring surfaces before use and avoid heavy impacts; store the caliper in a protective case when not in use. Calibrate or check zero periodically, especially after drops or extended use, and use light, consistent pressure when scribing with the carbide tip to avoid excessive wear or unintended marking.
