Scale Dials

Scale dials are removable devices that feature a marked face with predefined units to indicate the rotation or degree to which a shaft has been turned. These dials are commonly used in various applications where precise positioning or adjustment is required. The scale dials typically come in different sizes and configurations. The shaft sizes available for these dials are commonly 0.125 inches (3.18 mm), 0.236 inches (6.00 mm), or 0.250 inches (6.35 mm). The choice of shaft size depends on the specific application and the compatibility with the equipment or mechanism being controlled. In addition to the shaft size, the scale dials also have a specific number of turns that can be made. This refers to the complete revolutions that the dial can make from its starting position to its maximum position. The number of turns available may vary and can include options such as 1, 10, 11, 15, 20, 21, 30, or even 100 turns. The selection of the number of turns depends on the desired level of precision and the range of adjustment needed for the particular application. By using scale dials, users can precisely control the position or setting of a shaft by aligning the indicator on the dial with the desired unit or marking on the face. This allows for accurate adjustments or measurements to be made, ensuring proper functioning and alignment of mechanical systems or equipment. Overall, scale dials provide a convenient and customizable solution for controlling and indicating the degree of rotation or position of a shaft in various applications. The availability of different shaft sizes and number of turns allows users to select the appropriate dial based on their specific requirements for precision and adjustment range.
