Zirkel caliper M201.171 — 200 mm analogue caliper with 0.1 mm vernier (Metav IndustryLine)

The Zirkel caliper M201.171 is an analogue, compass‑style caliper designed for general engineering and metalworking tasks up to 200 mm, offering robust jaws and a secure locking screw for stable readings

• Analogue vernier 0.1 mm resolution
• Hardened measuring tips for long life
• Matt‑chromed scale for low glare readings
• Locking screw for stable measurement

Stable, workshop‑grade precision for everyday measurement

The instrument provides analogue vernier reading with a resolution of 0.1 mm, making it a reliable choice for routine checks and machining set‑ups where quick, repeatable readings are required. The vernier system is mechanical and does not rely on batteries, which reduces downtime and simplifies workshop use. For users familiar with vernier operation, the scale allows straightforward subtraction and transfer of values; for those new to the method, the vernier principle can be explained in a few steps and delivers consistent results when the sliding jaw is fixed with the locking screw. This balance of simplicity and repeatability supports efficient process control on the shop floor.

Built for repeatability: hardened steel and anti‑glare scale

Constructed from special hardened steel, the body and jaws resist wear while the hardened measuring tips maintain accurate contact geometry over repeated cycles. The matt‑chromed scale and vernier minimise reflections under strong workshop lighting, improving legibility and reducing read‑back errors. The locking screw (Feststell) secures the slider after adjustment, which is especially useful when transferring measurements between fixtures or when measuring outside diameters with the compass arms. Classified as a Standard caliper (100–300 mm class) due to its 200 mm measuring range, the design offers the best compromise between reach, stiffness and single‑handed handling for everyday machine‑shop tasks.

Practical handling and typical applications in the workshop

As a compass‑style analogue caliper, the tool is particularly suited to tasks such as setting up fixtures, measuring external diameters and checking component steps where a robust mechanical instrument is preferred over electronics. The hardened tips and solid shaft reduce sensitivity to knocks and abrasion, so the instrument remains dependable in a busy environment. The simple mechanical construction also eases maintenance: occasional cleaning and lubrication of the slide keep the instrument functioning accurately for extended periods. For quality assurance, the caliper integrates neatly into inspection routines where vernier measurements are an established method.

FAQ

How is the vernier scale read on this instrument?
The vernier provides 0.1 mm steps; align the vernier line with the main scale to determine the fractional reading, then add the vernier value to the main scale to obtain the measurement with the caliper M201.171.

What workshop tasks suit a compass‑style caliper?
Typical uses include external diameter checks, step and depth transfers and fixture set‑up in general engineering and metalworking; the Standard‑range design offers reach and stiffness appropriate for routine machine‑shop work.

Is the instrument robust enough for daily use?
Yes, the hardened measuring tips and special hardened steel body ensure wear resistance; the matt‑chromed scale reduces glare and the locking screw secures measurements during transfer.

Does the caliper come with a calibration certificate?
The standard delivery does not include an ISO 17025 certificate by default; calibration options can be arranged if traceable certification is required for quality systems.
