K 46 Lever Dial Indicator — lever-type measuring instrument, 0.2 mm range, 0.002 mm resolution (Käfer)

The K 46 lever dial indicator is a compact lever-type measuring instrument for fine displacement measurement and quick comparative checks in precision workshops and assembly jigs.

• High resolution 0.002 mm reading
• Measuring range 0.2 mm for fine checks
• Contact length 11.8 mm for narrow features
• 40 mm dial bezel for clear indication

Exceptional precision for repeatable measurements

The lever-type dial indicator delivers repeatable, high-precision readouts thanks to its 0.002 mm graduation. The finely stepped dial allows reliable comparative measurement where small deviations matter, so processes such as jig set-up, runout checks and depth comparisons are executed with greater confidence. The compact mechanism and pronounced dial graduation contribute to a stable measurement chain that reduces readout uncertainty during routine inspection.

Compact design for tight workspaces and fixtures

Designed for environments where space is limited, the instrument's lever probe and short contact travel offer a practical balance between reach and manoeuvrability. With a contact length of 11.8 mm and a compact bezel, the device fits into confined fixture arrangements while maintaining a clear visual readout. The ergonomics of the lever mechanism reduce operator fatigue during batch inspection and speed up alignment tasks on small components.

Clear scale and robust indication for quick decisions

The dial features a 0-100-0 graduation for intuitive interpretation of relative displacement, supported by a 40 mm outer ring that enhances readability under workshop lighting. This clear visual feedback shortens decision loops on the shop floor: deviations are recognised immediately and corrective action can be taken without delay. The graduated dial supports both coarse visual checks and fine comparisons, making it suitable for setup, maintenance and quality control steps.

Versatile use in production and metrology stations

With a measuring range of 0.2 mm, the instrument is tailored to fine-tolerance tasks where small deviations are critical. The robust lever-type construction enables compatibility with standard magnetic bases and fixture mounts, creating a versatile measuring tool for assembly lines, inspection benches and toolrooms. Its compact footprint and focused measuring capacity make it a valuable complement to broader metrology equipment, assisting in quick checks that preserve throughput and precision.
