dial indicator

Dial indicators are instruments used to accurately measure a small distance. They may also be known as a dial gauge, dial test indicator (DTI), or as a "clock". They are named so because the measurement results are displayed in a magnified way by means of a dial.
A Dial test indicator, also known as a lever arm test indicator or finger indicator, has a smaller measuring range than a dial indicator and therefore has the ability to measure in smaller increments.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dial_indicator

Relógios apalpadores são instrumentos de medição utilizados na indústria para diversos fins, como a excentricidade de peças, o alinhamento e centragem de peças nas máquinas, o paralelismos entre faces, medições internas e medições de detalhes de difícil acesso.
Seu funcionamento consiste basicamente num mecanismo que transforma o deslocamento radial de uma ponta de contato em movimento axial transmitido a um relógio comparador, no qual pode-se obter a leitura da dimensão.
