MD50D – Rugged Digital Length Stop
Manual length stop gauge system with digital readout.
The rugged Kentucky Gauge MD50D 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.
The MD50D 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
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
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
The MD50D utilizes four sealed and maintenance-free stainless steel roller bearings. These bearings are greased-for-life and provide smooth extremely smooth movement along the guide rail.
