Fowler 52-240-014 Mechanical Outside Micrometer 14 in

Product Description

The FOWLER 52-240-014 is a mechanical outside micrometer built for precision measurement across a 14-inch range. It features a ratchet stop thimble for consistent measuring pressure and solid carbide measuring faces that resist wear during heavy shop use. The sleeve includes a quick zero-adjustment feature that lets technicians recalibrate on the fly without additional tools. Graduated at 0.001 inches with an accuracy of 0.011 inches, this micrometer is suited for machinists, tool-and-die workers, metrology technicians, and precision trades professionals who require reliable large-range outside measurement.

This micrometer is used in applications requiring outside diameter, thickness, or stock measurement of large workpieces up to 14 inches. Typical installations include machine shops, manufacturing floors, and inspection stations handling large shafts, castings, or plate stock. The included case, standards, and wrench make it a self-contained measurement kit ready for bench or field use. The non-rotating spindle design prevents workpiece marring and maintains measurement accuracy across repeated use cycles.

Key Features

• 14-inch maximum measurement range for large workpiece applications
• Ratchet stop thimble delivers consistent measuring pressure on every reading
• Solid carbide measuring faces for extended wear resistance
• Non-rotating spindle prevents surface damage to delicate or finished workpieces
• Quick, easy zero adjustment on sleeve for rapid field recalibration
• Includes carrying case, standards, and wrench for a complete measurement package

Compatibility

Designed as a standalone mechanical outside micrometer suitable for standard bench measurement tasks requiring up to 14 inches of outside measurement capacity.

Installation Notes

This instrument is used by machinists and metrology technicians in shop or inspection environments. Before use, verify calibration using the included standards and zero the sleeve as needed. Keep measuring faces clean and free of debris to maintain accuracy. Store in the provided case when not in use to protect the measuring faces and frame from damage.
