Advantages of the product

Versatile Probe Options

Interchangeable probes (flat, round, knife-edge) adapt to various surfaces, while swivel heads (360° rotation) access tight spaces. Ideal for inspecting gears, cams, and complex mold surfaces.

Related products

Engine cylinder inspections and hydraulic component production require dial bore gauges. These devices are specific to measuring internal diameters, and use a three-point contact technique spaced to 120 degrees, giving roundness accuracy of ±0.005mm. The device extends the measuring range using a telescoping rod (between 30mm-500mm) and the dial indicator fulfills the requirements of precision, delivering accuracy of 0.01mm. While they are pivotal for proper fitting of seals and bearings, they are also critical.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do magnetic bases aid dial indicator use?

Strong rare-earth magnets (holding force ≥50N) enable hands-free operation on ferrous surfaces, reducing fatigue during prolonged inspections like CNC machine calibration.
