Micrometer Heads
Quick Answer
A micrometer head is a precision measuring and positioning component that uses a calibrated screw mechanism to provide fine linear movement and accurate position readout. Micrometer heads are used as standalone positioning devices in custom gaging fixtures, optical instruments, machine tool slides, and laboratory equipment where precise incremental movement or dimension setting is required.
