Dial Caliper Gimex MDHC 50–180 mm (model 208.054) measuring tool

Gimex MDHC dial caliper 50–180 mm (model 208.054) is a precision measuring tool designed for internal, external and depth measurements across a mid-range span. The instrument combines a vernier-style sliding jaw assembly with a mechanical dial indicator that displays fractional millimetre increments for direct reading. A fine adjustment mechanism allows controlled approach to the measured surface, making the caliper suitable for workshop, quality control and mechanical maintenance applications.

Advantages

The dial indicator provides clear, incremental readings without the need for electronic power, while the sliding jaw assembly and fine adjustment deliver repeatable positioning. Its measuring range covers medium-size components and the depth probe enables depth checks in recesses and bores. The construction is intended to offer stable measurement behaviour during routine inspection and assembly tasks.

Suitable for

• Internal diameter checks of housings and bores
• External diameter and thickness measurements of shafts, pins and parts
• Depth measurements of slots, steps and blind holes
• Workshop set-up, inspection and mechanical maintenance
• Quality control sampling and first-article verification

Key specifications

• Measuring range: 50–180 mm
• Display type: mechanical dial for fractional millimetre reading
• Measurement functions: internal, external and depth
• Adjustment: sliding jaw with fine adjustment screw for precise approach
• Probe/configuration: retractable depth probe integrated with jaw slide

How to use

Clean the measuring surfaces of the caliper and the workpiece before measuring. Close the jaws and check zero on the dial; if necessary adjust the bezel to align zero. Open the jaws and place the instrument on the feature to be measured, using the fine adjustment to bring the jaws into firm contact without excessive force. Read the main scale and the dial for the fractional millimetre value to obtain the final measurement. For depth measurement, extend the depth probe into the feature until it contacts the bottom and read the combined scale and dial. After use, wipe surfaces clean and store the caliper in a protective case or drawer to avoid shock and contamination.

Usage recommendations

Use the fine adjustment for final approach rather than forcing the jaws; avoid exposing the dial mechanism to liquid or heavy dust and perform periodic calibration checks to maintain measurement accuracy.
