Built around a fixed upright post arm style, this stand provides a rigid, stable platform for mounting dial indicators during inspection and comparison tasks. The rectangular base measures 7.5 inches in length and 6.25 inches in width, delivering a wide footprint for stability. A fine adjustment mechanism allows technicians to position the indicator with controlled, repeatable precision. The stand ships with an anvil and holder included. Total weight is 10 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis stand is suited for dimensional inspection work where a dial indicator must be held at a consistent height and angle relative to a reference surface. The post height of 8 inches and an overall height of 10.5 inches accommodate a wide range of part geometries on surface plates or inspection fixtures. The fixed upright post configuration is commonly used in comparator setups where a master part is referenced first, then production parts are checked against that baseline. Licensed metrology technicians, quality inspectors, and toolroom machinists are the primary users of this equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFixed upright post arm style for rigid, repeatable indicator positioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine adjustment mechanism for controlled vertical positioning of the indicator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel construction for durability in production and inspection environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRectangular base measuring 7.5 x 6.25 x 2.5 inches for broad, stable support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes anvil and holder  -  dial indicator not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePost height and rod length of 8 inches with 10.5 inch overall height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style comparator gage stand compatible with standard dial indicators used in toolroom and quality control inspection setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eSecure the stand on a flat surface plate or inspection table before mounting any indicator. Verify that all clamping hardware is tightened before taking readings to prevent indicator drift. Fine adjustment should only be made after coarse positioning is locked down. Dial indicator installation and removal should be performed with the stand stationary to avoid damage to the indicator spindle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStand Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Dial Indicator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArm Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Post (Fixed Upright)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Rectangle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePost Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRod Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFine Adjustment\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes Anvil\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes Holder\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes Dial Indicator\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 41111600\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: FOWLER\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 52-580-016-0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"FOWLER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67918861173042,"sku":"52-580-016-0","price":399.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/80e73019e9184360f1bda0bf007a40cb.jpg?v=1791274002","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/fowler-52-580-016-0-dial-indicator-comparator-gage-stand","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
