MD100D - Heavy Duty Length Stop

MD100D – Heavy Duty Length Stop

Heavy duty manual length stop gauge system with digital readout.

The rugged Kentucky Gauge MD100D heavy duty manual stop system with digital readout offers a cost effective way to boost productivity. The maintenance-free stainless steel roller bearings allow the operator to quickly move the gauge into position while the integrated fine-tune adjustment feature enables high precision positioning. A quick turn of the lever locks the gauge into position to ensure precise and repeatable measurements. This highly accurate machine can help increase your efficiency, while reducing your fabrication cycle times.

Compared to the MD50D, the MD100D offers a larger carriage system with more bearings and additional space for mounting additional components and fixtures.

The MD100D is perfect for any ferrous and non-ferrous fabricating equipment that requires accurate and repeatable positioning:

  • Cold Saws
  • Upcut Saws
  • Column Saws
  • Band Saws
  • Drills
  • Ironworkers
  • Punch Presses
  • Shears
  • Press Brakes
  • Custom machinery and more!

Key Features

Non-Contact and Wear-Free Linear Encoder

Non-Contact and Wear-Free Linear Encoder

Our encoders use magnetic sending technology, so they work without contact and ensure a virtually wear-free and maintenance-free operation. This ensures high-accuracy measurements for a lifetime.

Unlike rotary encoders, there are no moving parts. All the mechanical components found in rotary encoders (flange, shaft, bearings, etc.) are not needed, which eliminates mechanical failures and deficiencies.

Battery Powered LCD Digital Readout

Battery Powered LCD Digital Readout

Our digital readouts are powered by the standardized and readily available C battery with a battery life up to 12 months*.

Features include:

  • Inch, mm, or fractional display with direct button conversion between inch and mm.
  • Can be zeroed or referenced anywhere along the guide rail
  • Battery life indicator

*Dependent on battery type and usage

Maintenance-Free Bearings

Maintenance-Free Bearings

The MD100D utilizes six sealed and maintenance-free stainless steel roller bearings. These bearings are greased-for-life and provide smooth extremely smooth movement along the guide rail.
