DITRON 114 Series Cylindrical Outside Groove Vernier Calipers | 150mm to 600mm Malaysia
DITRON 114 Series Cylindrical Outside Groove Vernier Calipers
The DITRON 114 series features specialised cylindrical measuring contacts for accessing external grooves. The manufacturer describes the instrument as suitable for arc-shaped outside groove measurement.
Available in measuring ranges from 0–150mm to 0–600mm, the series provides a mechanical vernier readout without batteries.
For machining workshops and inspection departments in Malaysia, selection should consider groove opening, contact diameter, jaw reach and required accuracy.

SPECIFICATION NOTE
The supplied catalogue repeats the same ± values under both the resolution and accuracy headings. This does not clearly establish the vernier graduation.
The accuracy values above follow the catalogue’s accuracy column. Confirm the actual vernier graduation and final specifications before ordering. Do not assume a 0.02mm resolution from other DITRON models.
WHY USE AN OUTSIDE GROOVE CALIPER?
Standard caliper jaws may contact the surrounding shoulders before reaching the intended groove surface.
The 114 series uses projecting cylindrical contacts to access suitable external groove features. Correct selection depends on whether the contacts can enter the groove and touch the intended measuring surfaces without interference.
A workpiece drawing is useful for checking the groove profile against the instrument’s contact geometry.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT MODEL
Check these requirements together:
Measuring Capacity
Select a range that accommodates the dimension being inspected.
Contact Diameter
The 114-150 and 114-200 list 2mm contacts. The 114-300, 114-500 and 114-600 list 3mm contacts.
Jaw Reach
Dimension a increases from 40mm to 100mm across the listed models. Compare the full drawing with the component geometry.
Groove Clearance
Check the groove opening, depth, shoulder clearance and curvature. Contact diameter alone does not establish the minimum measurable groove width.
Accuracy
Catalogue-stated accuracy varies from ±0.04mm to ±0.07mm. Check suitability against the component tolerance.
APPLICATIONS IN MALAYSIA
The DITRON 114 series can be considered for accessible external groove checks on components such as:
• Grooved shafts.
• Turned cylindrical parts.
• Rollers with external grooves.
• Machined components with recessed external measuring surfaces.
• Replacement parts undergoing dimensional comparison.
For workshops in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Johor and Penang, confirm the exact dimension required on the component drawing before selecting the instrument.
This caliper does not automatically measure every groove characteristic. Groove width, root diameter, depth and profile may require different instruments or measuring methods.
EXTERNAL GROOVE MEASUREMENT LIMITATIONS
The catalogue identifies this model for outside grooves. Internal groove capability is not specified.
The cylindrical contacts must seat at the intended location. If they touch groove edges, radiused transitions or adjacent shoulders, the reading may not represent the required dimension.
For narrow, deep or complex grooves, assess contact access before purchase.
BASIC MEASURING PROCEDURE
1. Identify the required dimension on the component drawing.
2. Clean the groove and measuring contacts.
3. Check zero or the reference according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
4. Position the contacts within the intended groove.
5. Ensure the contacts clear adjacent shoulders and edges.
6. Align the instrument with the dimension being measured.
7. Apply light, consistent contact force.
8. Read the main scale and vernier graduation.
9. Apply any manufacturer-specified correction or allowance.
10. Repeat the measurement to assess consistency.
Do not force the contacts into a groove that is too narrow.
CARE AND BASIC CHECKS
• Protect the projecting contacts from impact and bending.
• Keep the scale and sliding surfaces clean.
• Remove chips and residue before measurement.
• Avoid measuring hot or moving components.
• Clean and dry the instrument after use.
• Follow the manufacturer’s maintenance and storage instructions.
• Check performance against suitable reference standards according to your quality procedure.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the DITRON 114 designed to measure?
The catalogue describes it as a cylindrical outside groove vernier caliper for arc-shaped external groove measurement.
What measuring ranges are listed?
The supplied page lists 150mm, 200mm, 300mm, 500mm and 600mm models.
What contact diameters are available?
The 150mm and 200mm models list 2mm contacts. The 300mm, 500mm and 600mm models list 3mm contacts.
Does a 2mm contact fit every groove wider than 2mm?
Not necessarily. Clearance, groove curvature, contact projection and adjacent shoulders also affect access.
Can it measure internal grooves?
Internal groove measurement is not specified on the supplied page.
Can it measure groove depth directly?
The catalogue does not specify a direct groove-depth function. Confirm the required dimension and measuring method separately.
What is the vernier resolution?
The supplied table does not clearly establish it because the resolution column repeats the ± accuracy values. Request confirmation before purchase.
Does it require batteries?
No. It uses a mechanical main scale and vernier readout.
What material grade is specified?
The supplied page does not explicitly identify the material grade. Confirm this if required.
Is a calibration certificate included?
The supplied page does not confirm that an individual calibration certificate is included. Specify documentation requirements when requesting a quotation.
