Proper Use and Handling of Granite Mechanical Components

Granite mechanical components, made from natural granite and precisely manufactured, are known for their exceptional physical stability, corrosion resistance, and dimensional accuracy. These components are widely used in precision measurement, machine bases, and high-end industrial equipment. However, correct handling and usage are essential to ensure performance and extend the product’s lifespan.

Below are several key guidelines for proper usage:

1. Leveling Before Use
   Before operating with granite mechanical parts, ensure the surface is properly leveled. Adjust the component until it is in a perfectly horizontal position. This is crucial to maintain accuracy during measurements and to avoid data deviations caused by uneven positioning.

2. Allow for Temperature Equilibration
   When placing a workpiece or measuring object on the granite component, allow it to rest for about 5–10 minutes. This short waiting period ensures the temperature of the object stabilizes to the granite surface, reducing thermal expansion influence and improving measurement accuracy.

3. Clean the Surface Before Measurement
   Always clean the granite surface with a lint-free cloth lightly dampened with alcohol prior to any measurement. Dust, oil, or moisture can interfere with contact points and introduce errors during inspection or positioning tasks.

4. Post-Use Care and Protection
   After each use, wipe down the surface of the granite component thoroughly to remove any residue. Once clean, cover it with a protective cloth or dust cover to shield it from environmental contaminants, ensuring long-term performance and reducing future maintenance.

Using granite components correctly helps preserve their precision and maximizes their service life, especially in high-accuracy applications. Proper leveling, temperature adaptation, and surface cleanliness all contribute to reliable and repeatable measurements.
