ABSTRACT:
A conversion mechanism of a dial gauge is provided with a spindle having a measuring point on the top end, and a sector gear having an abutting portion abutting on an engaging portion provided on the spindle, in which a sliding movement of the spindle is converted into a turning movement of the sector gear through the engaging portion and the abutting portion, then the turning movement is converted into a turning amount of a pointer. In such conversion mechanism of the dial gauge, the sector gear is integrally molded with the metal abutting portion with a plastic material, and the pointer adjusting means is provided, which enables to change the turning angle of the pointer without changing the position in the sliding direction of the measuring point on the spindle. Since the sector gear is integrally built, the cost of parts can be decreased, and since the pointer adjusting means is provided, the measurement at the easy-to-read position on the dial plate can be materialized.
