• Robust Mechanical Design: Built with high-quality components and a smooth spring-loaded mechanism that applies consistent measuring force, eliminating operator variability for dependable readings.

• Clear Analog Readout: The easy-to-read dial face features bold numbering and sharp indicator needles for quick, error-free data collection at a glance.

• Completely Mechanical Operation: Requires no external power sources or batteries, ensuring maintenance-free dependability in any workshop or field environment.

Ideal Applications

Designed to handle delicate and rigid materials alike, the TECLOCK SM-112 is widely utilized across multiple industries for measuring:

• Paper, Cardboard, and Packaging: Ensuring uniform thickness for printing, folding, and packaging integrity.

• Plastics and Films: Verifying gauge consistency in polymer sheets, plastic films, and synthetic membranes.

• Textiles and Leather: Measuring fabric loft, fleece, and leather hides for apparel, upholstery, and manufacturing standards.

• Rubber and Foams: Checking compressibility and thickness tolerances for gaskets, seals, and cushioning materials.

• Sheet Metals and Foils: Quick spot-checks on thin metal sheets and foils where micrometers or calipers are less convenient.

• Measuring Force: Typically $1.4\text{ N}$ to $4.0\text{ N}$ (designed to prevent material compression distortion while maintaining firm contact)

• Anvil / Contact Point Type: Flat ceramic or hardened steel contact points (standard configuration varies by specific sub-model, ensuring wear resistance)

• Dial Face Design: Clear white dial face with high-contrast black markings for quick, parallax-free visual reading. Includes a bezel clamp for zero-setting.

Construction & Ergonomic Design

The TECLOCK SM-112 is built around a lightweight yet rigid die-cast aluminum or alloy frame, providing a balanced feel in the hand during repetitive shop-floor measurements.

• Lever Action: Features a smooth, thumb-operated lifting lever that retracts the upper spindle cleanly. This allows operators to quickly insert and remove materials without dragging or wearing down the contact faces.

• Spring-Loaded Spindle: The internal constant-force mechanism ensures that identical pressure is applied to every sample tested, regardless of operator touch, which is vital for compliance-driven quality assurance environments.

Step-by-Step Operating Instructions

To guarantee accurate, repeatable measurements and extend the lifespan of your TECLOCK SM-112, follow these standard operating procedures:

1. Inspection and Cleaning: Before use, gently wipe the upper and lower measuring anvils with a clean, lint-free cloth to remove any dust, oil, or particulate residue that could skew readings.

2. Zero Adjustment: Press the lifting lever to bring the measuring faces together (or onto a zero-calibration block if required). Rotate the outer bezel ring until the indicator needle aligns precisely with the $0$ mark.

3. Taking a Measurement:

   • Depress the lifting lever to raise the upper anvil.

   • Place the sample material flatly and securely onto the fixed lower anvil.

   • Slowly and gently release the lever, allowing the spring-loaded spindle to lower onto the material under its own calibrated force.

4. Reading the Dial: Read the primary millimeters on the main sub-dial and the hundredths of a millimeter ($0.01\text{ mm}$) on the primary dial face.

5. Retraction: Press the lever again to lift the spindle before sliding the material out to avoid surface scratching or premature wear on the contacts.

Maintenance, Storage, and Calibration

• Storage Environment: Keep the gauge stored in its dedicated protective plastic or foam-lined case when not in use. Store in a dry environment away from excessive humidity, direct sunlight, corrosive chemical fumes, and extreme temperature fluctuations.

• Cleaning Protocol: Never use aggressive organic solvents (such as acetone or strong thinners) to clean the dial crystal or painted body. Use a mild detergent solution or isopropyl alcohol on a soft cloth if cleaning is necessary.

• No Lubrication Required: Do not apply oil or grease to the main spindle rod. The precision sliding mechanisms are designed to operate dry to prevent dust accumulation from jamming the internal gears.

• Periodic Calibration: For ISO-compliant environments, schedule annual or bi-annual calibration checks against certified gauge blocks or reference standards.
