Spring Calipers

Spring Calipers And Dividers Calipers are one of the oldest type of comparison measuring tools. These are designed for taking comparitive measurements and transferring the dimensions to a micrometer, precision rule etc. The legs pivot on a roller and are tensioned by bow spring. The fulcrum stud has a large bearing surface that prevents side deflection of legs. Adjustment is made by opening and closing of the legs by means of an adjusting nut. Divider points are hardened for increased wear resistance.
