A contact 6 is provided at one end of each of the pair of measuring arms 4 and 5 to contact the outer periphery of the object W, and a differential transformer 7 is provided at the other end. 4
And the differential coil 7b is attached to the measurement arm 5. Then, the measuring arms 4 and 5 swing with the leaf spring 3 as a fulcrum according to the diameter of the object to be measured. This swing changes the relative position between the core 7a and the differential coil 7b, and the An output corresponding to the amount of swing appears.

Therefore, the output of the differential coil 7b must be adjusted to be zero when the tracing stylus 6 is at a position corresponding to the diameter of the master work. However, a change in ambient temperature causes a thermal displacement in the measuring device. At this time, if all the constituent elements of the measuring device are formed of a material having the same linear expansion coefficient, for example, iron, the expansion amount is the same even if the respective constituent elements thermally expand, so that the thermal displacements are canceled each other, The output of the differential coil 7b remains zero, but the differential transformer 7
Due to the magnetic characteristics, the materials of the differential core 7a and the differential coil 7b cannot be made the same and the same material as other components cannot be used. For this reason, a difference occurs in the amount of thermal displacement from the difference in the coefficient of linear expansion, and the output of the differential coil 7b changes,
This had an effect on the measurement accuracy.

The flange 15 is fixed to a housing 16 which forms the outer periphery of the measuring device. A stopper pin 17 for restricting the amount of swing of the measuring arms 10 and 11 is fixed to the housing 16. A differential transformer 18 is attached to one end of the measuring arms 10 and 11 opposite to the end where the tracing styluses 12 and 13 are attached. The differential transformer 18 includes a core 19, a differential coil 20 surrounding the core 19, and a coil bobbin 2 holding the differential coil 20.
1. The core 19 is screwed to the tracing stylus 12 and is made of permalloy having high frequency and good magnetic properties. The differential coil 20 outputs a signal corresponding to the operation amount of the core 19 from the reference position, and the value is output to a display device (not shown). The coil bobbin 21 is fixed to the probe 13 via a spacer 22. The spacer 22 is formed of aluminum, stainless steel, or the like so as to have the same thermal expansion as the core 19 in the axial direction.

The operation of the above configuration will be described. First, before measuring the workpiece W, a master work is sandwiched between the contacts 12 and 13 in order to set a reference value of the workpiece W, and the contact 1 is set so that the output of the differential transformer becomes zero.
Adjust the length of 2,13. Next, the object to be measured W is brought into contact 1
When the contact arms 12 and 13 are sandwiched between the measurement objects W and the master work, the measurement arms 10 and 11 swing by the difference in diameter between the workpiece W and the master work. Due to the swing of the measuring arms 10 and 11, the core 19 of the differential transformer 18 and the differential coil 20 move relatively, and a voltage output corresponding to the relative movement amount is obtained from the differential coil 20, and the voltage output relative to the master work diameter is obtained. The diameter is measured by detecting the difference.

Here, the differential transformer 1 is used in the master work.
8 after adjusting the zero point,
When the temperature of a component such as 3 changes, thermal expansion occurs.
Then, the core 19 is extended to one end side where the core 19 is not fixed by the heat.
Since the core 19 also moves by the same amount in the direction in which the core 19 extends, the core 19 and the differential coil 20 do not move relative to each other, and the measured value does not change due to thermal expansion. Also, the core 7a
The material of the differential coil 7b is limited in terms of magnetic properties, but the material of the spacer is not limited as long as it has the same elongation as that of the core 7a. If the spacer is formed of the above, the thickness of the spacer can be reduced, and the size of the measuring device is not increased.

As described above, the present invention measures a spacer having a thermal expansion coefficient such that the differential coil has the same elongation so that the differential coil moves in the same direction as the elongation of the core by the same amount as the elongation of the core. Since it is inserted between the arm and the differential coil, there is an advantage that the influence of measurement error due to thermal displacement can be prevented with a simple configuration.
