About Stands

stand.jpg (4666 bytes)

Base
Bases are cast iron for strength and stability. Three two-inch casters with rubber tires are used for mobility and retracted into the base by a foot pedal. (Due to its weight and size, the model 232 stand has larger casters, and raising or lowering them is accomplished by a hand wheel on the base.) In use, the stand rests on three adjusting screws with lock nuts. This permits leveling the stand on uneven surfaces.

Main Tube
Main tubes are seamless steel tubing with a clamping collar on the upper end. Air trapped inside this tube by the air-check mechanism prevents rapid descent of the instrument if both the ratchet and clamping level are released at the same time.

Intermediate Tube
Intermediate tubes are hard chrome-plated for wear and rust resistance. A gear rack is attached for raising and lowering the instrument.  Interchangable instrument mounts screw into a 2.825 - 20 NS-2 thread at the upper end of this tube. The aircheck mechanism is attached at the lower end of the tube.

Controls
Raising and lowering of the instrument mount is controlled by means of a capstan with pinion gear, ratchet and clamping lever. These are chrome-plated. The capstan spokes and clamping level have black phenolic knobs.

231 Stand

This unit's range of 28 to 42 inches, measured from the floor to the top of the intermediate tube, is used for applications involving surface plates, machine tables, way checking and assembly operations. It is rugged, dependable and easily moved about.
