Digital Indicator failing calibration

Smasherofprobes
Hello everyone,

I have a digital indicator here that is failing its yearly calibration using the set master and gage blocks. 1mm = 1.12mm // 1.25mm = 1.36mm // 3.5mm = 3.64 // 5mm = 5.12mm

On average I am reading .12mm from where it should be.

Is there anything I can do to salvage this digital indicator? Can I send it out to be re-calibrated? Trying to avoid having to order a brand new one as we are tight on money.

Thanks

  • What is the brand of the dial indicator?

    I'd advise against taking it apart and seeing if a local metrology shop can fix it. Yeah, you're spending more money, but less than buying a new one if you break it.

    Depending on brand, maybe the pinion is corroded or spring mechanism is worn.
