An electronic height gauge is used to measure vertical dimensions from a reference surface, usually a surface plate. It provides a digital display of the measured value with a least count of 0.01 mm.

The electronic height gauge is a compact, simple, and easy-to-use instrument, widely used in industries, tool rooms, inspection departments, and workshops. Due to its high cost, proper handling and care are important for any industry or organization.

Useful Tips for Handling an Electronic Height Gauge

  • Keep the column and slider clean. Dust and dirt can affect smooth movement and measurement accuracy.

  • Ensure the slider lock is OFF while sliding the slider and ON when the slider is at rest to prevent accidental movement.

  • Set zero before measurement.
    If the main scale can be adjusted, move it to set the zero point properly and securely tighten the fixing nuts.

  • Avoid parallax error.
    While reading the scale or aligning the scriber, always observe straight and perpendicular to the graduations.

  • Proper storage is essential.
    Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity.

  • If the electronic height gauge is not used for more than three months, remove the battery before storage to prevent leakage or damage.
