Gaertner Precision Micrometer Slide, 4 Inch Travel

$190.00

This is a Gaertner Scientific 1-LM430 precision micrometer slide with four inches of travel. The carriage, which is threaded to accept the standard series of Gaertner measuring microscopes and telemicroscopes, runs on a precision lapped cylindrical rod. The advance is by means of a split nut that is hand lapped to the leadscrew. The nut floats within the carriage and a bearing attached to the nut follows a special cam that runs along the inside of the housing. This cam corrects for any residual errors in the lead screw.

There is a four inch scale on the exterior of the instrument, and a large precision graduated drum for setting the lead screw. The graduations on the drum permit setting the carriage position directly to 0.0005 inches, and to 0.00005 inches via the vernier. The leadscrew is loaded against a spherical bearing by a large coil flat spring housed within the small compartment opposite the handwheel. This permits using the slide in any orientation.

The entire instrument has been completely rebuilt and is working flawlessly. It includes a 19mm diameter rod 6 inches long. The mechanism is completely enclosed. It weighs close to 8 pounds.
