K 50/3 E Thickness Gauge — 0–30 mm range, 0.1 mm reading

The K 50/3 E thickness gauge is a compact mechanical measuring instrument for fast thickness checks and workshop applications.

• Robust mechanical construction for daily workshop use
• Measurement range 0–30 mm
• Readable resolution 0.1 mm
• 5 mm spherical probe for secure surface contact

Reliable measurements for routine inspection

The thickness gauge delivers consistent, repeatable readings across a 0–30 mm span thanks to its clear 0.1 mm graduation and a firm contact geometry. The instrument’s mechanical design focuses on usability in a production or maintenance environment: the measuring spindle transmits deflection to the scale without electronic dependencies, which reduces susceptibility to electrical noise and removes the need for batteries. This simplicity supports straightforward decision-making on the shop floor, where a quick comparative check or a go/no-go reading is required.

Design that improves handling and contact reliability

A spherical measuring tip with an effective diameter of 5 mm ensures stable contact on flat and slightly profiled surfaces, lowering the risk of point damage and improving repeatability when measuring thin sheets or components. The compact frame and accessible spindle movement enable swift positioning and short cycle times during batch inspections. Where surface irregularities exist, the ball tip helps to average local deviations, making the instrument suitable as a rapid control device for incoming goods inspection or intermediate process checks.

Practical maintenance and integration into workflow

The instrument’s mechanical principle simplifies routine checks and eliminates the need for routine battery changes; maintenance is limited to keeping the moving parts free from swarf and lubricated per workshop practice. Calibration can be performed against gauge blocks or reference standards to verify the 0.1 mm scale. For businesses seeking to centralise metrology tools, the gauge integrates easily with manual test benches and can be used alongside hand-held callipers and micrometre systems to form a complete inspection chain.
