Dial calipers use a rack and pinion mechanism system, which transfers the linear movement of the jaws of the caliper to the rotary motion of the dial indicator. Inside the dial there is a train of gears which mechanically drive the dial indicator needle when the distance between the jaws of the caliper is adjusted.
