Dial Gauge Gimex 208.005 — 10 mm range, 0.01 mm graduation, mechanical indicator

Mechanical dial gauge Gimex 208.005 provides precise measurement of linear displacement and runout with a 10 mm measuring range and 0.01 mm graduation. The instrument features a clear circular dial, mechanical movement and a stem contact point designed for reliable, repeatable readings on shafts, bearings and machined surfaces. It is designed for bench mounting or use with a magnetic base to support alignment, inspection and setup tasks in workshops and inspection stations.

Advantages

The Gimex mechanical indicator delivers fine resolution and mechanical robustness without requiring batteries, making it suitable for routine shop-floor use. Its 0.01 mm graduation and 10 mm travel allow detection of small deviations and runout, while the clear dial and pointer ensure readable measurements. The stem contact point provides consistent contact with measured surfaces and the design supports secure mounting for hands-free inspection.

Suitable for

• Checking shaft and bearing runout
• Measuring linear displacement on machined parts
• Setup and alignment with magnetic or bench bases
• Quality control inspections in production and repair shops

Key specifications

• Measuring range: 10 mm
• Graduation (resolution): 0.01 mm
• Display type: mechanical dial with pointer
• Contact type: stem contact point for direct surface measurement
• Mounting: compatible with bench mounting and magnetic bases

How to use

Secure the dial gauge in a stable holder or magnetic base and position the stem contact point perpendicular to the surface to be measured. Zero the dial by rotating the bezel if the instrument provides this function or by setting a reference against a calibrated standard. Apply gentle, consistent pressure to the contact point and move the workpiece or indicator to measure displacement or runout; read the value directly from the dial using the 0.01 mm graduation. For comparative checks, note the deflection from the zero reference to determine deviations.

Usage recommendations

Handle the mechanical dial gauge with care to avoid shocks that can affect the internal movement. Clean contact points and measured surfaces before use, and store the instrument in a protective case when not in service. For accurate results, check the indicator periodically against a reference gauge and avoid exposing the instrument to strong magnetic or corrosive environments.
