Mitutoyo 101117 Drop Indicator Flat Contact Point

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 101117 is a flat contact point designed for use with drop indicators and dial gages. It features a solid carbide contact tip, which provides excellent wear resistance in repetitive measurement applications. The M2.5 x 0.45 threaded shank allows for straightforward installation into compatible indicator spindles. With a 10 mm diameter face and a 10 mm contact point length, this flat-style point delivers a broad, stable contact surface suited for measuring flat or slightly irregular workpiece surfaces. Metrology technicians and quality control professionals use this type of contact point when standard tips do not suit the measurement task at hand.

This contact point is suited for dimensional inspection work in machine shops, quality labs, and production environments. The flat contact geometry is appropriate for applications where surface contact area matters, such as measuring soft materials, thin stock, or surfaces where a pointed tip could indent the workpiece. It threads directly onto drop indicators conforming to AGD Group 1, 2, 3, and 4 standards. The solid carbide construction extends service life in high-cycle inspection routines compared to standard steel tips.

Key Features

• Flat contact point style provides stable, broad surface contact for accurate readings on flat workpieces
• Solid carbide construction for high wear resistance in repetitive use
• M2.5 x 0.45 threaded shank for compatibility with standard drop indicator spindles
• 10 mm contact point diameter for reliable surface engagement
• 10 mm contact point length suits standard indicator mounting geometry

Compatibility

Designed for use with AGD Group 1, 2, 3, and 4 drop indicators and dial gages that accept M2.5 x 0.45 threaded contact points.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by metrology technicians or qualified inspection personnel. Power down or disengage any automated measurement system before swapping contact points. Thread the contact point into the indicator spindle by hand first, then snug with the appropriate spanner wrench — do not overtighten, as this can damage the spindle threads. Verify zero calibration after any contact point change before returning the instrument to service.
