The Käfer J12 is a light, easy to handle pocket fork thickness gauge with an analogue dial gauge (0.01 mm reading), robust and suited to accurate measurements within its 8 mm range.
- Pocket thickness gauge: light and easy to handle
- Analogue dial gauge: 0.01 mm reading
- Measuring range: 8 mm
- Throat depth: 12 mm
- Compliant with DIN 878: standardised accuracy
- Contact point: 6.35 mm Ø flat (standard)
- Opening: knurled lifting wheel
The J12 is a pocket, solid and easy to handle instrument, for accurate thickness measurements within a range of 8 mm with a 0.01 mm reading. At rest the contact points are closed: the knurled wheel opens them to insert the component and the measurement is read on the scale.
The standard contact point is 6.35 mm Ø flat; a spherical point is available on request. Zeroing is done by turning the knurled bezel. The contact points of the pocket models are not interchangeable. Accuracy compliant with DIN 878.
