K-50 Series Mechanical Thickness Gauges

Made in Germany The K-50 series consists of mechanical thickness gauges designed for reliable, repeatable measurement of soft to semi-rigid materials. Typical applications include leather, textiles, cardboard, felt, rubber, plastic components, films, plywood and thin sheet materials. The robust yet lightweight aluminium housing ensures stable handling in production, inspection and laboratory environments.

Available models

K-50: Standard model with a measuring range up to 10 mm and a jaw depth of 50 mm
K-50 with lifting device: Equipped with a lifting mechanism to support controlled positioning during measurement, maintaining identical measuring characteristics
K-50-2: Extended measuring range up to 20 mm for thicker materials
K-50-3: Measuring range up to 30 mm for applications requiring increased capacity
K-50-5: Maximum measuring range up to 50 mm for very thick or compressible materials

Key Features:

Mechanical thickness measurement using a spring-loaded plunger
Clear analogue dial with 0.1 mm resolution
Self-opening mechanism via internal spring force
Available with interchangeable feeler types (a, b, c, d or e)

Key Benefits:

Reliable thickness measurement across a wide range of materials
Consistent measuring force for repeatable results
Robust construction suitable for industrial and workshop use
