🔍 Key Concepts

• What a dial indicator is and how it is mounted in mechanical or marine shop work • The difference between measuring position/runout and measuring force or torque • Situations on a shaft where you need to know how much it is out of true (not perfectly centered)

💭 Think About

• When would you need a very small, precise movement reading in thousandths of an inch or hundredths of a millimeter? Which option describes that situation best? • Which choices describe things that are positions or movements, and which describe forces or only the direction of a scale? • On rotating machinery, what condition are you checking when you want to see how much the shaft “wobbles” or is off-center as it turns?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option refers to small linear displacement or runout of a rotating part. • Eliminate any option that involves measuring force (twisting/torque) rather than movement/position. • Eliminate any option that talks about only positive readings (direction of scale) instead of what quantity the instrument is designed to measure.
