0.002mm Accuracy Concentricity Tester with Single Dial

Accessories

(Note: The indicator's accuracy should match or be lower than the instrument's accuracy; otherwise, a high-accuracy indicator won't provide practical benefits, and a low-accuracy indicator won't fully utilize the instrument's potential.)

Q1: What is a concentricity tester?
A1: A concentricity tester is a precision measurement tool used to assess the alignment of the centers of two or more parts, ensuring they are concentric (i.e., share the same center axis). This tool is commonly used in machining and manufacturing to check the concentricity of components like shafts, bearings, and other cylindrical parts. By rotating the component and measuring any deviation from the desired axis, the tester provides insight into the part's precision and how well it will function in an assembly. Concentricity gauges are crucial in quality control to minimize mechanical errors, reduce wear and tear, and improve the overall performance of the finished product.

Q2: How does a concentricity tester work?
A2: A concentricity tester works by measuring the alignment between the center axes of a part and its rotating reference. The part being tested, typically a cylindrical component like a shaft, is mounted securely on a spindle or fixture. As the part rotates, one or more dial indicators or measuring probes are placed at key points along the part's surface, often at both ends. These indicators measure any deviation from the ideal concentric position, detecting even small variations in the part's roundness or alignment. The concentricity measuring equipment records the amount of offset or eccentricity, providing a precise measurement of how much the part deviates from being perfectly concentric. This helps ensure high precision in manufacturing, reducing mechanical errors and improving the performance and longevity of the final product.

Q3: How to ensure proper maintenance and care for the concentricity testers?
A3: To ensure the proper functioning and longevity of the concentricity testers, it is important to keep all components clean. If there is fine dust, use a blower balloon to gently remove it, and if there are oil stains or fingerprints, wipe them off with a soft cotton cloth. Do not attempt to disassemble the instrument, as this could compromise its measurement accuracy or cause damage. When not in use, always cover the tester with a dust cover to prevent dust accumulation. Additionally, apply anti-rust oil and store the tester in a dry environment to avoid rusting. To maintain its performance, regular inspections are recommended. If you have any questions during use, please contact customer service for assistance.

Tips: What is the difference between the 0.002mm and 0.005mm accuracy of a concentricity tester?

The 0.002mm accuracy of a concentricity tester provides much higher precision, making it ideal for applications that require extremely fine measurements. This level of precision is necessary in industries like aerospace, precision machining, and high-end manufacturing, where even the slightest deviations can affect the performance of critical components.

On the other hand, a 0.005mm accuracy measuring tool offers slightly lower precision, making it more suitable for general industrial applications where extremely tight tolerances are not as critical. This accuracy level is commonly used in standard machining processes and in industries that don't require the same level of precision as those in high-tech fields.

In terms of reliability, the 0.002mm accuracy tester delivers more dependable and precise results, capable of detecting very small deviations, which is essential for parts that demand strict concentricity. Meanwhile, the 0.005mm accuracy tester is sufficient for less critical applications, providing reliable measurements for everyday production where slightly higher tolerances are acceptable.
