LDR/LDB Series Large Diameter Gages

LDR Series Large Diameter Gage Ultra Lightweight Frame With Reed Movement

LDR Series Large DIameter Gage

The LDR Series large diameter gage uses a lightweight stainless steel tubular frame and a reed pantograph movement. This pantograph movement utilizes parallel reed springs to transfer motion and is well suited to production applications as dust, dirt, or coolant cannot harm or jam the mechanism.

LDR Features:

  • Standard with part# 2DM125-05 .0005" graduation dial indicator
  • Frictionless reed pantograph motion transfer with +/-.050" gaging travel
  • Carbide rest surfaces are offset 2" to resist tipping
  • Lightweight heat treated aerospace grade stainless steel tubing weighs only .817 lbs. per foot
  • Contacts feature 1" vertical depth adjustment
  • Carbide ball contacts

To order this large diameter gage, use the following sequence to specify the desired configuration (there is no need to specify configuration for standard items).

Gage Type - Frame Size - Contact Type

For example: LDR-12-CB-NI is a gage that measures 4.5 to 12", with carbide ball contacts and has no indicator.
