  2. Micrometer (device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micrometer_(device)

    A micrometer, sometimes known as a micrometer screw gauge (MSG), is a device incorporating a calibrated screw widely used for accurate measurement of components [1] in mechanical engineering and machining as well as most mechanical trades, along with other metrological instruments such as dial, vernier, and digital calipers.

  3. Traveling microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traveling_microscope

    A traveling microscope. E—eyepiece, O—objective, K—knob for focusing, V—vernier, R—rails, S—screw for fine position adjustment. A travelling microscope is an instrument for measuring length with a resolution typically in the order of 0.01mm.

  4. Differential screw - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_screw

    A full turn of the thimble 12 rotates the nut sleeve 13 and its two threads (20 tpi outside and 25 tpi inside) to move the rod 1 / 20 - 1 / 25 = 0.01 in (0.25 mm) relative to the barrel. Differential screw illustration from an 1817 machine design handbook. ab & ef have one thread pitch while cd has a different one.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge_(instrument)

    micrometer, sometimes known as a "micrometer screw gauge" a device incorporating a calibrated screw used widely for precise measurement of small distances in mechanical engineering and machining as well as most mechanical trades, along with other metrological instruments such as dial, vernier, and digital calipers.

  6. Filar micrometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filar_micrometer

    Filar micrometer. A typical filar micrometer consists of a reticle that has two fine parallel wires or threads that can be moved by the observer using a micrometer screw mechanism. The wires are placed in the focal image plane of the eyepiece so they remain sharply superimposed over the object under observation, while the micrometer motion ...

  7. Thury thread - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thury_thread

    Today the Thury thread is rare outside of antiques due to the relative abundance of other standard sized fasteners. For example, the British Association 0BA, the Löwenherz 6 mm and ISO M6×1.0 fasteners have identical pitch and diameter to the Thury size 0 (however, they are not interchangeable because they differ in thread geometry).

  8. Thread pitch gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_pitch_gauge

    Three different sets of threading gauges. The uppermost gauge is an ISO metric pitch gauge, the larger gauge in the center is for measuring the Acme thread form, and the lower gauge is for Whitworth screws. A thread gauge, [1] also known as a screw gauge [2] or pitch gauge, [3] is used to measure the pitch or lead of a screw thread.
