Provided is a misalignment determining device having a size thereof in an axial direction being made short. The misalignment determining device includes a case, a dial gauge, a holder portion, a support portion, a pivotal portion, a lever member, and a slide member. The slide member is placed in contact with a stylus of the dial gauge. While the pivotal portion and the lever member are rotated in synchronism with rotation of the holder portion, a pivot amount of the pivotal portion is transmitted to the slide member via the lever member, and based on an amount of movement of the slide member along an axis direction, the dial gauge determines the pivot amount.

The measuring device according to the present invention includes: a measuring element that contacts with an object to be measured; a detector that detects a displacement amount of the measuring element in a process in which the measuring element slides relatively in a certain direction on a surface of the object to be measured during time from a measurement start to a measurement end; a storage unit; a data collecting unit that acquires the displacement amount detected by the detector in a predetermined cycle and causes the storage unit to successively store the displacement amount; a display unit that can perform graphical displaying; and a display controller that causes the display unit to display predetermined information on the basis of a displacement amount for each predetermined cycle.

A metrology device with automated compensation and/or alert for orientation errors. The device may include a processor, a probe portion and at least one orientation sensor. The probe provides an output representative of a raw measurement of a characteristic of a device under test and the orientation sensor provides a sensor output representative of an orientation of the metrology device to the device under test. The processor applies a correction factor to the raw measurement in response to the sensor output to establish a compensated measurement to compensate for misalignment of the metrology device to the device under test. In addition, or alternatively, the processor provides an alert indicating the existence and/or extent of the misalignment.

A system, device, and method for adjusting a position of a thermocouple located in a channel within a brake pad, a tip of the thermocouple being aligned with a top surface of the brake pad. The device includes a wheel configured to be turned in a first direction, causing a rod to move downward to contact and push the thermocouple into the brake pad. The device also includes a gauge configured to measure and display a downward distance moved by the rod when the wheel is turned, the downward distance corresponding to a distance between the tip of the thermocouple and the top surface of the brake pad.

The lever indicator includes a housing, a measuring lever, a displacement sensor and a microcontroller. After extending to the interior of the housing, a tail end of the measuring lever synchronously swings with the displacement sensor for measurement. The microcontroller is located in the housing, and amends and calculates a measurement result according to a signal generated by the swinging of the displacement sensor, and a liquid crystal display for displaying the measurement result is further arranged outside the housing. The displacement sensor includes a fixing grid and a moving grid of a sector structure. The fixing grid is fixed inside the housing, and is correspondingly located above the tail end of the measuring lever. The moving grid is fixed onto the tail end of the measuring lever and swings relative to the fixing grid after linked with the measuring lever.
