I used two ready-made elements from the "universal prefabricated fixture", I wonder what it is called in English, I did everything else quickly from simple components that will always be found in the workshop. It was difficult with the spring, I did not immediately pick up the right solution. It is stainless steel welding wire ).

Hello, This is an amazing video with very unique information on the internet. Your reproduction is VERY COOL. Measuring accurately below the micron is very challenging and very interesting. I had no idea how these indicators work. I learnt a lot. Thank you. Your videos are an inspiration to continue projects. Wishing you and your close ones good health. Stay safe.
I have a few Mahr dial indicators they are very different in operation ( traditional gear trains and a preloaded ball slide plunger), but measure down to 1um per division . I know Mahr has different names for their precision , but in the Uk they are all generally called dial indicators (I know the American's distinguish between dial test indicators , with lever, and those with plunger operation , but I have not heard that here).
An excellent video, like all the others. Your model is a very good way to explain the function of a mikrokator. I have a Mahr millimess, 1µ indicator, but this is a gear train indicator I believe. For what videos to make, I suggest that you continue to make the videos that please you..
Thanks, Gena. I used one of these years ago. I've seen diagrams in books explaining the twisted band, but did not appreciate how small it was. We were told that the mechanism was delicate, and it really is.
Dan gelbart did a demonstration with a microcator, putting the microcator on the spindle of a milling machine, contacting a block on the table; you then put your hand on the back side of of the mill pillar, and you can then see the microcator measure the deflection of the spindle, due to differential temperature of the vertical pillar, it bends to the front...
@@gutsngorrrr morning sir, can you share the link of his video please? I'm working in a homemade precision lathe for make jet engines and will be very helpful see this content
Very interesting. I read about microcators in technical school but never saw one in person or knew how they work, we only used dial indicators and micrometers.

I am glad that I found the attention of viewers in Canada Canada on my channel, according to statistics, is in the top five countries in terms of the number of views.
fascinating how those Crude Soviet Era Precision tools look on the inside! the finish wouldnt even be considered as good for a "Normal Machininst " but back in this soviet era they probably tried to make parts as cheap and as many as possible and still useable !
Slava Ukraine friend. Where did you learn your trade? I enjoy your videos no one I've seen on you tube comes close to the precision you do. Keep up the great work
Hello Gena. I have a Mikrokator that has a pointer with the tip broken off. Do you know anything about the brown material that holds the pointer to the twisted strip. Obviously it's a type of glue but I wonder if it is warmed if it would release the pointer. It seems to resemble rosin flux. I called the company but they don't manufacture the pointers any longer and they don't have any old stock. I may see if I can melt some glass and pull a tiny thread. :-)
Also, I apologize. Before I asked a question I should have thanked you for this incredible video. The effort you put into the example is beautiful and brilliant. Thank you very much. Also, I found a great written description in this book online that you may like, called Ingenious mechanisms. page 495. www.opensourcemachinetools.org/archive-manuals/Ingenious_Mechanisms_Vol.3_Jones_1930.pdf
This is surprising, but there is not a thread, but a glass tube. But if you pull out the glass thread, it will probably work too. I don't know about glue, I thought it was epoxy glue.
@@gena_bazarko oh interesting. I'll need to inspect under a microscope again. If it is a small tube, I can't imagine how such a small thing would be produced. I'll start investigating that also. Gena, paypal won't let me donate to you. It says that it is prevented by regulation. :-(
That was pretty fascinating. I've never seen one of those before and seeing whats inside was even better. Even though it's quite 'simple, the internal parts look quite delicate, is the pointer arrow drawn from glass? Take care, stay safe and good luck.
Thanks Gena, very usefull explanation for me, I just bought a similar old tool, Italian make, Borletti, but seems to be the same principle as your 0,002mm gauge. I wonder why there are two end stops provided on the sides of the scale, I would be glad if you could explain how they are intended to be used. I am happy to subscribe to your channel. Slava Ukraini!
There is a little post where the glass tube rests on when the indicator isn’t engaged that looks like it needs cleaning in your video. That sometimes happens at our shop and we need to take the Mikrokator apart so we can clean that post. Otherwise the indicator can be sticky.
Thank you for share your knowledge, this content is very dificult to get here in Brazil, learn so much with your videos, have you some other personal social media as Instagram or whatsapp ?

Fantastic educational video. I have wondered how these manage to work and yet be robust enough to handle. Thanks!!
In english it would be a type of mechanical comparator. Great demonstrations,thank you.

Just excellent! I love your home made "Millicator". Perfect to demonstrate the principle.
I wish you all the best Gena .Great video.
Amazing demonstration! Thank you for making it.
Nice show of microcator mechanism, very elegant design!
Thank you for this, I was hoping someone had stripped one how they were made. You went above and beyond :)

I know Mahr has different names for their precision , but in the Uk they are all generally called dial indicators (I know the American's distinguish between dial test indicators , with lever, and those with plunger operation , but I have not heard that here).
In countries on the territory of the former USSR, these three devices are called; microcator; micator; minicator.

Even the most rigid objects are sharply mobile with heat and amazingly flexible ).
Yes, Some of Dan's videos are amazing, especially his home made precision lathe.

Very good video, thanks for that new information. Regards from a machinist/toolmaker from Germany.
Very interesting. I read about microcators in technical school but never saw one in person or knew how they work, we only used dial indicators and micrometers.
Excellent video, nice model. I like the many close up details of the intruments.
I've been wondering about how those work. Thank you! 👍👍👍
hi very interesting work
keep going forward i want to see more video from you✋
Fascinating. Excellent model and explanation 8-)
Really well done and beautiful demonstration. A masterwork of an educational video.
The English term for "flexible construction elements" is "flexure" or sometimes "live hinge."
Thank you, dictionaries, yet, unfortunately, do not make an absolute translation (.
Great explanation of how these work. I'm actually surprised how simple they are.
An amazing design, work is achieved only due to the elastic deformation of a monolithic part.

Thanks , impressive video very well made .
Awesome model and explanation
In China it's called "twist spring gauge"(pounce as: niu huang biao).Thanks for ur video,seems only soviet influenced nation has those things

Looks like one of the posts/stops needs cleaning
I use a translator, and sometimes I can't quite understand the meaning of a comment. Unfortunately, I didn't fully understand this comment.
There is a little post where the glass tube rests on when the indicator isn’t engaged that looks like it needs cleaning in your video. That sometimes happens at our shop and we need to take the Mikrokator apart so we can clean that post. Otherwise the indicator can be sticky.
@@PIcoAirBearings I also saw strange pollution. But I didn't think that it could cause a problem. I'll clean it. thank you
