It depends on the screw thread pitch (or "lead") in the heart of the micrometer. Typically, screw pitches in common hand-held micrometers are 40 per inch in an Imperial micrometer or 2 per millimetre in a Metric micrometer. Thus, one full turn of the thimble of an Imperial micrometer is 1/40th of an inch (25 thousandths of an inch or "25 thou") and similarly, one full turn of the thimble of a Metric micrometer is 1/2 a millimetre (500 micrometres).

What is the total movement indicated on the thimble if it has been rotated one revolution?

The total movement on the thimble if it has been rotated one full revolution would be the pitch of the screw multiplied by the number of thread on the spindle.


What is the function of spindle in micrometer screw gauge?

The spindle in a micrometer screw gauge is responsible for making contact with the object being measured and moving along the pitch scale to take measurements. It is rotated to bring the object into contact with the anvil, allowing for precise measurements of small objects with high accuracy.

When a drive gear with 15 teeth makes one full rotation how far has the driven gear rotated?

It depends on the number of teeth on the driven gear. If it has 15, then it makes one revolution. If 30, then one half of a revolution.
