Frequently Asked Questions

An outside spindle head is a specialised measuring component designed to be mounted onto fixtures or machines for high-precision linear positioning. HK Calibrations provides these heads to Australian manufacturers who require sub-millimetre accuracy for custom-built gauging equipment and industrial machinery setups.

Yes, these spindle heads are designed with standard mounting diameters, making them easy to install into custom brackets or tool-holding fixtures. HK Calibrations offers various spindle travel lengths to ensure you have the precise range needed for your specific engineering applications.

A non-rotating spindle moves linearly without spinning, which prevents torque or friction from moving the workpiece or scratching delicate surfaces. HK Calibrations recommends this feature for high-precision tasks where maintaining the exact contact point is critical for measurement repeatability.

To ensure longevity, keep the spindle clean and lightly oiled while checking the zero-point alignment against a master gauge regularly. HK Calibrations advises periodic inspections of the ratchet or friction thimble to ensure consistent pressure is applied during every measurement cycle.

We supply both traditional analogue and advanced digital spindle heads to suit different Australian workshop environments and data logging needs. Digital models from HK Calibrations feature large LCD screens and easy zero-resetting, which significantly reduces the risk of human error during complex setups.

For businesses following ISO 9001 or standard quality management systems, professional calibration should be conducted every 12 months to verify the pitch accuracy of the internal screw. HK Calibrations provides rapid 48-hour calibration services to ensure your integrated machinery components remain compliant with national measurement standards.
