Caliper Gimex analog single-sided 400 x 100 mm, 0.05 mm (model 201.324)

Analog single-sided caliper Gimex model 201.324 offers a 400 x 100 mm measuring range with a 0.05 mm scale division for precise linear, internal and depth measurements. The caliper uses a mechanical vernier scale so it delivers reliable results without batteries, making it suitable for workshop and field use. Designed by Gimex for general measuring tasks, this instrument combines a long measuring span with a compact depth probe and fixed jaw configuration for routine inspection and dimensional checks.

Advantages

The Gimex analog caliper provides battery-free operation and a clear vernier scale that allows repeatable readings with 0.05 mm resolution. A durable frame and hardened measuring faces resist wear during everyday use, and the single-sided sliding beam simplifies handling for quick measurements. Its generous 400 mm main scale and 100 mm depth range cover larger workpieces while remaining portable for transport between job sites.

Suitable for

• External diameter and length measurements of metal and plastic parts
• Internal dimension checks of bores and openings
• Depth measurements for grooves, holes and slots
• General inspection and basic dimensional control in workshops
• On-site measurements in maintenance and carpentry work

Key specifications

• Measuring range: 400 mm (main scale) and 100 mm depth/secondary range
• Resolution: 0.05 mm (vernier scale)
• Type: analog single-sided caliper with vernier
• Measuring functions: external, internal and depth measurements
• Construction: rigid beam with hardened measuring jaws and depth probe
• Power: mechanical operation, no batteries required
• Typical materials: suitable for metalworking, wood and plastics

How to use

Place the caliper jaws around or inside the feature to be measured and slide the movable jaw until it contacts the workpiece lightly but firmly. For depth measurements, extend the depth probe into the hole or slot and align the beam squarely with the surface. Read the main scale and vernier scale together to obtain the measurement with 0.05 mm resolution: note the main scale value at the vernier zero and add the vernier fraction that aligns with a main scale mark. Keep the jaws clean and free of chips or dust to ensure accurate contact and repeatability.

Usage recommendations

Store the caliper in a protective case when not in use and avoid exposing it to strong impacts or corrosive environments. Periodically verify accuracy with gauge blocks or a reference standard, especially after heavy use; recalibrate or service as needed. Clean measuring faces with a soft cloth and apply a light protective oil if storing for long periods to prevent corrosion.
