Fowler 54-175-024-0 Electronic Height Gage 24 in

Product Description

The FOWLER 54-175-024-0 is an electronic height gage designed for precision layout and measurement work on surface plates and machine shop floors. It measures vertical distances up to 24 inches (600 mm) and delivers a resolution of 0.0005 inches (0.0100 microns) with an accuracy of 0.003 inches (0.070 mm). Readings are displayed on a high-contrast LCD screen for clear visibility in shop conditions. A floating zero function allows the technician to reference any point along the measurement range. Licensed metrology technicians, machinists, and quality control inspectors are the primary users.

This height gage suits dimensional inspection and layout tasks in manufacturing, tool rooms, and quality assurance environments. It is well suited for measuring part heights, scribing layout lines with an optional attachment, and checking step heights on precision components. The carriage locking lever holds position during transfer measurements, and the coarse adjustment hand wheel speeds setup when moving across large measurement ranges. Two indicator holding bars are included, expanding its use with test indicators for comparative measurement setups.

Key Features

• 24-inch (600 mm) maximum measurement range
• 0.0005-inch resolution with LCD digital readout
• Floating zero function for incremental measurements from any reference point
• Carriage locking lever for secure position hold during transfer
• Coarse adjustment hand wheel for rapid carriage positioning
• Includes two indicator holding bars for use with test indicators

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style electronic height gage for use on standard granite or cast iron surface plates in metrology and machine shop environments.

Installation Notes

Setup requires a flat, level surface plate for accurate baseline reference. Ensure the base and scriber contact surfaces are clean and free of burrs before use. The unit is powered by a CR2032 battery; replace the battery when the low-power indicator appears to maintain measurement accuracy. No special tools are required for standard setup, though users should follow shop calibration procedures and applicable metrology standards when using the gage for inspection records.
