Small dial gauge KM 4T — compact dial indicator with 3 mm range and 0.01 mm graduation (Käfer)

Small dial gauge KM 4T is a compact dial indicator designed for accurate short-range measurements in workshop and inspection environments, providing fine graduations for repeatable positional checks.

• 3 mm measuring range for close-tolerance checks
• 0.01 mm resolution for fine positional control
• 40 mm dial for clear visual reading
• Compact KM 4T design without shock protection

Accurate short-range measurement for quality control

The KM 4T delivers reliable results for narrow-travel inspection tasks thanks to its 3 mm measuring range and high 0.01 mm graduation. The instrument's calibrated scale and mechanical simplicity contribute to fast, reproducible readings during batch inspection or setup work. For operators requiring repeatable positional checks, the fine graduation reduces interpretation error and supports tighter process control without adding complexity to the workflow.

Clear readouts that speed up inspection routines

A 40 mm dial provides a legible display that helps to reduce read-off time and visual fatigue on the shop floor. The indicator’s defined scale, combined with the 0.5 mm per revolution pointer characteristic, makes it straightforward to interpret cumulative displacement across multiple revolutions. This clarity translates into quicker inspection cycles and improved throughput during repetitive measuring tasks, while keeping documentation and tolerance verification efficient.

Robust, serviceable mechanics for workshop use

With a straightforward mechanical design and a compact form factor, this dial indicator suits everyday workshop environments where simplicity and uptime matter. The execution is without shock protection, so care in handling during high-impact operations is advised; nonetheless, the uncomplicated construction eases routine checks and replacement within existing inspection setups. The compact housing and classic dial layout facilitate mounting in stands or on fixtures for repeat checks.

Practical technical features explained for non-specialists

Key numerical characteristics are easy to interpret: the 3 mm range denotes the maximum measurable travel, the 0.01 mm graduation indicates the smallest readable increment, and the 40 mm dial diameter defines readout legibility. The 0.5 mm per revolution value means each full pointer turn equals 0.5 mm of movement, useful when tracking cumulative displacement. These concise metrics help planners and technicians assess suitability quickly when integrating the instrument into quality-control routines.

FAQ

Is the KM 4T suitable for bench and fixture measurements? The Käfer KM 4T small dial gauge (SKU 4000851660NW) is intended for bench and fixture applications where short-range accuracy and clear readout are required.

How fine are the graduations on this indicator? Graduations of 0.01 mm on the KM 4T allow for precise positional assessment, making the indicator suitable for fine-tolerance inspections.

What does 0.5 mm per revolution mean in practice? It means every full pointer rotation on the dial corresponds to 0.5 mm of linear movement, simplifying cumulative displacement readings during multi-turn measurements with the KM 4T.

Are there any handling considerations for this model? The execution is specified as without shock protection, so the instrument should be handled with standard care to avoid impacts that could affect accuracy.

Which tasks is this dial gauge best suited for? This compact dial gauge is best for short-travel checks, setup verification and routine inspection tasks where a clear 40 mm dial and 0.01 mm resolution improve efficiency and reliability.
