Mahr Expands Precimar® SM 60 Length Measurement Family with New SM 60-V Small Length Model

PROVIDENCE, RI – December 18, 2024–  Mahr Inc., a leading provider of dimensional metrology solutions, announced the expansion of its Precimar® SM 60 length measurement product line with the introduction of the Precimar SM 60-V small-length measuring bench. This new version of the SM-60 has the ability to use  Mahr’s standard contact inserts with 3.3mm mounting. These inserts enable the SM-60 to be individually adapted to a wide range of measuring tasks. For example, it can measure recesses, external gears, the pitch diameter of external threads, and perform many other measuring tasks. It is also ideally suited for precise measurements at the point of manufacture or in a measurement center.

The Precimar SM 60 family features a measuring range of 60 mm, with a 25 mm sensitive contact and a fixed reference jaw with a 35 mm adjustment to obtain the total 60 mm measurement capacity. Equipped with a 5 N measuring force, the Precimar SM 60-V includes a robust construction for use in the production environment, designed to meet the demand for high-performance gaging at the point of manufacture. It also offers a simple setup for fast adaptation to new workpieces.

The Precimar SM 60-V is highly-flexible. It is configurable with various Mahr readouts to provide a system tailored to the performance level required for the specific measurement application, including:

• MarCator 1086R or 1087R digital indicators
• Millimess® 2000 high-performance digital comparator
• Millimar® P2004 LVDT with +/-2mm range and C1200 bench amplifier
• Incremental probes: P 1530 V using Millimar®C 1202 and the N 1702 VPP-module, providing long-range and high-resolution capabilities

Interchangeable measuring inserts provide hardened steel or carbide surfaces in a wide variety of shapes, along with numerous thread measuring options. An adjustable support table is positioned up or down to ensure proper part location and then locked into place. Retraction of the sensitive contact is accomplished with a simple lever that is easy to use by right- or left-handed operators.

"The expansion of the Precimar SM 60 family with the new SM 60-V model demonstrates Mahr's commitment to delivering innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of manufacturers," said Nick Russo, Product Manager at Mahr. “The flexibility, accuracy, and durability of the Precimar SM 60-V make it an ideal choice for manufacturers seeking to perform precise measurements in a production environment, enhancing their measurement capabilities and driving productivity.”
