K 33 lever dial gauge — Käfer, 0.5 mm range, 0.01 mm resolution

A K 33 lever-type test indicator designed for high-precision comparative measurement tasks in workshops and on inspection benches

• High precision 0.01 mm graduation
• Compact 0.5 mm measuring range
• 32 mm outer dial diameter
• 34.7 mm measuring tip length

Accurate small-range inspection for repeatable results

The lever-type comparator delivers a 0.01 mm graduation across a 0.5 mm span, making it suitable for tight-tolerance checks where deviations must be detected quickly and reliably. The fine graduation permits measurement of hundredths of a millimetre, which is essential when monitoring runout, checking bearing seats or verifying component flatness. The instrument’s compact dial and lever mechanism ensure measurements are transferred with minimal angular error, so comparative readings remain consistent even during repetitive inspection routines.

Compact design that supports efficient bench workflows

With a 32 mm outer dial and a 34.7 mm measuring tip length, the instrument is deliberately compact to fit confined setups and to allow close access to small workpieces. The reduced dial diameter keeps the indicator profile low, which is advantageous when space on fixtures or gauge setups is limited. Markings arranged as 0–25–0 give a clear visual reference for incremental displacement, and the short tip length helps to reach into narrow features without obstructing adjacent tooling.

Robust measurement concept for practical industrial use

The lever-action mechanism is engineered to convert small lateral displacements into readable dial movement, so minute positional changes are amplified for clear interpretation. This focusing of measurement action allows quick pass/fail decisions during assembly or setup phases and supports process stability by enabling fast feedback to operators. The comparator is therefore well suited to metrology tasks within production, quality assurance and toolroom environments where short-range precision is required.

FAQ

What is the measuring range and resolution of the instrument? The instrument offers a measuring range of 0.5 mm with a resolution of 0.01 mm, enabling detection of deviations down to one hundredth of a millimetre.

Is the comparator suitable for narrow or confined setups? Yes, the compact 32 mm dial and 34.7 mm tip length make the comparator well suited to confined fixtures and close-access measurement points.

How is displacement indicated on the dial? Displacement is shown using a lever-driven dial with markings arranged as 0–25–0, which provides a clear visual reference for incremental movement.

Can the instrument be used for runout and assembly checks? The lever-action mechanism is designed to amplify small lateral movements, so it is appropriate for runout, bearing-seat checks and comparative assembly inspection.
