Description
Condition
Used (Working Condition / Cosmetic Wear).
This dial test indicator is in used condition. As noted, it is cosmetically “rough,” showing signs of regular workshop service on the body and bezel. However, it has been tested and is functioning nicely. The movement is smooth, and the auto-reverse mechanism operates correctly. Please Note: This is sold as the Gauge Only (no box, stems, or accessories included).
Product Overview
The Peacock PCN-1BZB is a premium “Z-Series” One Revolution dial test indicator. Unlike standard PCN-1B models, this specialised “Z” version features a limited measuring range of 0.6mm to prevent reading errors.
- Error-Free Reading: The pointer remains within a single revolution (or less), making it impossible to miscount multiple rotations—a common source of scrap in precision machining.
- Clutchless (Auto-Reverse): It features Peacock’s signature “Clutchless” lever mechanism. You do not need to flip a switch to change direction; the pointer always rotates clockwise regardless of whether the stylus moves up or down.
- High Sensitivity: The “Z” series utilises miniature jewelled bearings at the pivot point for exceptional sensitivity and durability.
- Visual Zones: The dial face typically features a colour-coded (Yellow/Blue) background to clearly indicate the “usable” measuring range and the “dead zone”.
