Mitutoyo 05BAA083 Bridge Stopper Drop Indicator

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 05BAA083 is a bridge stopper accessory designed for use with drop indicators and precision measuring tools and instruments. A bridge stopper limits or arrests the measuring spindle travel on a drop indicator, protecting the instrument from overtravel damage and extending service life in repetitive gauging applications. This part is a replacement or supplemental component for technicians and metrologists maintaining precision measurement setups in calibration labs, quality control environments, and production inspection stations. It ships as a single unit and is not calibrated or supplied with a traceability certification.

The 05BAA083 bridge stopper is suited for precision measurement environments where drop indicators are used in fixture-based or surface-plate inspection work. It is appropriate for any application requiring controlled spindle travel management on compatible Mitutoyo drop indicators. Typical users include quality technicians, tool room machinists, and metrology personnel performing dimensional inspection on parts and assemblies. This accessory helps maintain consistent gauging conditions across repeated measurements.

Installation Notes

Installation of drop indicator accessories should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with precision measuring instruments. Power down or disconnect any automated gauging system before servicing indicator components. Handle precision instrument parts with clean, dry hands or lint-free gloves to avoid contamination of contact surfaces. Refer to the instrument manufacturer service documentation for proper installation procedures and torque requirements specific to your indicator model.
