Dial Indicators are precision measuring instruments used to measure small linear displacements with high accuracy. They feature a dial display with a needle that magnifies movement, allowing precise inspection of dimensions, alignment, and surface variations in machining, engineering, and quality control applications.
Key Characteristics:
Plunger Type: Spring-loaded spindle (plunger) moves in and out, commonly used for runout checks and flatness testing.
Dial Test Indicators (Lever Type): Compact lever-style indicators for delicate measurements and machine setup.
Digital Indicators: Modern versions with digital displays and data output for fast, error-free readings.
High Precision: Typical resolutions down to 0.01 mm or finer for demanding applications.
Durable Build: Hardened components and shock-resistant housings ensure reliability in workshop environments.
Common Uses:
Machining & Engineering: Checking concentricity, parallelism, flatness, and dimensional accuracy.
Machine Setup: Aligning workpieces, fixtures, and tools for precision machining operations.
Quality Control: Inspecting manufactured parts for tolerance compliance and repeatable accuracy.
