Käfer KM 4S miniature dial indicator — 3 mm range, 0.01 mm resolution, shock-protected

The Käfer KM 4S is a miniature dial indicator for short-range dimensional checks and set-up tasks in inspection benches and machine shops.

• High resolution 0.01 mm
• 3 mm measuring range
• Shock-protected design
• 40 mm bezel for clear reading

Accurate short-travel measurement for routine inspection

The compact instrument delivers exact readings over a 3 mm measuring span with a resolution of 0.01 mm, making it suitable for fine tolerances and repeat checks. The scale is graduated so that one full pointer rotation corresponds to 0.5 mm per revolution, which simplifies quick interpretation of incremental changes during setups. The compact dial is intended for tasks where small displacements require reliable quantitative feedback, and the clear graduations reduce reading errors during repetitive measurement routines.

Robust construction built to withstand workshop use

Built with shock protection, this gauge accepts the mechanical stress that occurs in everyday handling and prevents damage from accidental impacts. The robust design reduces the risk of downtime and replacement costs by protecting the movement and pointer mechanism. The sturdy construction therefore supports continuous production workflows and is compatible with typical clamping and holding fixtures used at inspection stations and bench-mounted stands.

Clear display and ergonomic handling for faster decisions

A 40 mm bezel provides a legible dial face and facilitates rapid read-off under workshop lighting. The compact format and low weight allow quick repositioning and straightforward use in confined spaces or on assemblies. The instrument’s single-rotation definition of 0.5 mm aids interpretation when comparing multiple measurements, enabling concise documentation of deviations and faster decision-making in quality control procedures.

Designed for practical integration and dependable results

As a miniature dial instrument from a traditional manufacturer, the device emphasises fundamental metrology principles: repeatability, visible graduation and mechanical reliability. The compact format suits both component inspection and machine set-up tasks, delivering measurable benefits in throughput and inspection consistency without the need for extensive training. Calibration and routine verification preserve measurement integrity and support traceable quality processes.
