Dial Indicator

A dial indicator is an instrument with either jeweled or plain bearings, precisely finished gears, pinions, and other precision parts designed to produce accurate measurements. It is possible to take measurements ranging from one-thousandth (0.001 inch or one mil) to 50 millionths of an inch.

Description

A dial indicator is an essential tool for precision measurement in machining, manufacturing, and quality control. Whether you’re checking alignment, measuring small deviations, or ensuring accuracy in mechanical components, this tool provides reliable and high-precision readings.


Why Choose a Dial Indicator?
A dial indicator is widely used in industries that demand accuracy and consistency. Here’s why professionals rely on it:

  1. High Accuracy – Measures small variations in linear distances with precision, often down to 0.001 inches or better.
  2. Easy to Read – A clear, graduated dial display ensures quick and accurate readings.
  3. Versatile Applications – Used in machining, automotive, metalworking, and industrial inspections.
  4. Durable & Reliable – Built with sturdy materials to withstand frequent use in demanding environments.
  5. Multiple Mounting Options – Works with magnetic bases, stands, and other fixtures for stable measurements.

Applications :
A dial indicator plays a crucial role in various industries where precision is key:

  1. Machining & Manufacturing: Ensures parts meet tight tolerances and alignment requirements.
  2. Automotive & Engine Work: Checks for runout, alignment, and wear in rotating components.
  3. Inspection & Quality Control: Used in industries like aerospace and engineering to verify product accuracy.
  4. Metalworking & Woodworking: Ensures surfaces are flat and precise for high-quality craftsmanship.
  5. Scientific & Research Fields: Helps in measuring deflections, deformations, and small displacements.
