Starrett 25-481J dial indicator is used in precision measurement tasks in machining, manufacturing and quality control applications. It ensures accurate readings of small linear distances and deviations to maintain tight tolerances and ensure precise components. This continuous reading dial indicator is integrated with a back lug for mounting and positioning. It features a continuous reading dial, where graduations increase or decrease in one direction from the reference point. This dial indicator is ideal for larger measurement ranges, where the minimum reading serves as the set reference point. This indicator can measure from 0 to 10 mm, ensuring precise results.
Working Mechanism:
- Set initial reference point.
- Place indicator on measured surface.
- Indicator's tip makes contact.
- As surface shifts, dial moves.
- Read dial for displacement.
- Graduations indicate deviation.
- Achieve accurate measurements.
- Return to the reference point for next measurement.
