A length measuring jig measures the length of a tubular stud bolt with a central hole defined axially therethrough while the tubular stud bolt remains mounted on a target product such as a steam turbine casing. The length measuring jig includes a rod to be inserted into the central hole in the stud bolt, a first jaw provided on a tip end of the rod for abutting against an end face of the one side in longitudinal direction of the stud bolt, a slider on which the rod is slidably supported, a second jaw provided on the slider for abutting against an end face of the other side in longitudinal direction of the stud bolt, and a cap to be fitted in the central hole in the stud bolt and having a slit defined therein for allowing the rod to extend therethrough. The first jaw has an overall length smaller than a diameter of a minimum-diameter portion of the central hole in the stud bolt. The cap has an inner wall surface defining an end of the slit in the cap, and a distance to the inner wall surface from a central axis of the stud bolt is equal to a radius of the minimum-diameter portion of the central hole in a state in which the cap is fitted in the central hole in the stud bolt.

An inductive position encoder includes a scale, a detector and a signal processor. The scale includes a periodic pattern of signal modulating elements (SME) arranged along a measuring axis (MA) with a spatial wavelength W1. The detector comprises sensing elements and a field generating coil that generates a changing magnetic flux. The sensing elements comprise conductive loops that provide detector signals responsive to a local effect on the changing magnetic flux provided by adjacent SME's. Some or all of the conductive loops are configured according to an intra-loop shift relationship wherein equal “shifted proportions” of a loop are shifted in opposite directions by W1/4K. K is an odd integer. The intra-loop shift relationship can be used to suppress Kth spatial harmonic components in the detector signals, while also overcoming longstanding detrimental layout problems. It combines easily with “loop width” spatial filtering techniques that filter other spatial harmonic signal components.

A caliper measurement force detecting device includes a fixed unit that is securely attached to a slider so as not to displace relative to the slider; a movable unit that is provided to allow a slight displacement relative to the fixed unit along a direction parallel to a displacement direction of the slider; and pressure detectors that are arranged between the fixed unit and the movable unit and are provided so as to detect pressure applied in the direction parallel to the displacement direction of the slider. The movable unit includes an alternative finger hook that is arranged near a finger hook of the slider and serves as an operator that pushes and pulls the slider instead of the finger hook of the slider.

The measuring jig for the rotary machine is a measuring jig for a rotary machine including a casing that extending about an axis, a rotor that is disposed in the casing and extends in an axial direction about the axis, and a plurality of bearings that are disposed at intervals in the axial direction and supports the rotor in the casing. The measuring jig includes a plurality of casing fixing portions that are respectively attachable to and detachable from bearing holding portions to which the bearings are attached in the casing; a main member that extends in the axial direction so as to connect the plurality of casing fixing portions to each other; an arm that extends from the main member in an orthogonal direction orthogonal to the axial direction; and a reference surface that is disposed at a distance from a measurement target part of the casing.

The invention relates to a measuring device for measuring a diameter of a rope-shaped material to be measured, with the material to be measured being a fibre rope, the measuring device comprising two measuring surfaces parallel to one another, a pressing means configured for pressing the measuring surfaces onto the material to be measured located between the measuring surfaces with a predetermined measuring force during a measuring process, and a measuring unit configured for measuring a distance between the measuring surfaces, with the measuring device being configured as a portable handheld device, the measuring device comprising a guiding device which can be placed onto the material to be measured for the measuring process, with the guiding device being arranged in relation to the measuring surfaces in such a way that the material to be measured assumes a predefined position relative to the measuring surfaces during the measuring process, and with the guiding device being configured in such a way that the material to be measured can be placed onto the guiding device on both sides of the measuring surfaces.

Carpenter pencil caliper is a two-piece device that attaches to a carpenter's pencil with a scale, ruler imprint, or rule imprint on the carpenter's pencil wherein this three-piece assembly is then used as a caliper to measure the length, width, and/or height of a workpiece. This three-piece assembly may also be used to mark or scribe a line in a workpiece at a specific, precise, or measured location and/or mark or scribe a specifically sized or measured circle in a workpiece at a specific, precise, or measured location. The two-piece device is a specially designed and shaped to reversibly attach to a standard sized carpenter's pencil in order to perform the marking and/or scribing of the workpiece. A workpiece is a piece of building material such as wood, composite, or metal that is used to build a structure or a device.

A measuring device for measuring a width (W) between a first edge (4) and a second edge (5) of spaced apart opposed edges (4, 5) of a slot (16) in a product (1′), comprising: a measuring part (18), with a measuring detector and a display (28), and provided with a first tab (37) configured to enter into the slot (16), and a slide (29), defining a longitudinal axis (X), being arranged so as to be adjustable relative to the measuring part (18) along the longitudinal axis (X), and provided with a second tab (46) being configured to enter into the slot (16).

The slide (29) is adjusted so that a first surface (44) of the first tab (37) contacts the first edge (4) and a second surface (49) of the second tab (46) contacts the second edge (5).

A distance (d) between the first surface (44) and the second surface (49) corresponding to the width (W) is detected by the measuring detector, and the value of the width (W) is displayed by the display (28).

The first and second tabs (37, 46) are oriented downwardly relative to the measuring part (18), perpendicular or transverse to the longitudinal axis (X) of the slide (29).
