Fowler 54-585-100-0 Electronic Indicator Base Kit

Product Description

The FOWLER 54-585-100-0 is a two-piece electronic indicator base kit designed for precision dimensional measurement in machining, inspection, and metrology applications. The kit includes a FlexMag magnetic base and an Indi-X Blue electronic indicator, combining flexible positioning with digital readout accuracy. The indicator features a 0-15-0 dial reading format and a resolution of 0.0005 inches (0.010 mm), making it well suited for tight-tolerance work on machine tools, surface plates, and fixture setups. The 2.25-inch dial diameter provides a clear, readable display in shop-floor conditions. A sealed back plate protects internal components from coolant splash and airborne contaminants.

This kit is intended for machinists, toolmakers, quality control technicians, and precision measurement professionals working in both production and inspection environments. The FlexMag base provides secure magnetic mounting on ferrous surfaces, and the Indi-X Blue electronic indicator connects directly for immediate runout, flatness, and deflection measurements. The compact base dimensions of 1.25 inches in length and 1.25 inches in height allow use in tighter setups where larger bases would not fit.

Key Features

• Includes FlexMag magnetic base and Indi-X Blue electronic indicator as a matched two-piece kit
• Resolution of 0.0005 inches (0.010 mm) for high-precision measurement tasks
• 0-15-0 dial reading format for bidirectional measurement from a zero reference
• 2.25-inch dial diameter for improved readability in production environments
• Sealed back plate protects against coolant, chips, and contaminants
• Compact base at 1.25 inches length and 1.25 inches height for use in confined setups

Compatibility

Designed for use as a complete indicator and base kit for ferrous machine tool surfaces and inspection fixtures where magnetic mounting is applicable. Specific cross-compatibility with other indicator brands or bases is not stated by the manufacturer for this kit.

Installation Notes

Mounting and setup should be performed by a qualified machinist or metrology technician familiar with dial indicator procedures. Ensure the magnetic base is fully engaged on a clean, flat ferrous surface before zeroing the indicator. Avoid exposing the electronic indicator to excessive coolant immersion or impact, which can affect calibration and internal components. Power down or disable any machine motion before adjusting the base position or indicator contact point.
