Mitutoyo 101168 Adjustable Drop Indicator Back

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 101168 is an adjustable drop indicator back designed as a replacement or special-application component for dial indicators. The back plate mounts to the rear of a dial indicator housing, providing a secure, repositionable mounting surface for setup on machine tools, fixtures, and precision measurement equipment. It is compatible with AGD Group 2 indicators. Metrology technicians, machinists, and quality control professionals install this component when an indicator back requires replacement or when a non-standard mounting configuration is needed for a specific inspection application. It weighs 1 pound.

This indicator back is used in precision measurement applications where the standard back plate must be replaced or adapted for a special setup. Typical environments include machine shops, quality labs, and manufacturing floors. It is suited for use with AGD Group 2 dial indicators, which are the mid-size standard in the AGD specification series. Installers select this part when reconfiguring an indicator for surface plate work, transfer setups, or custom fixture mounting where the existing back is not compatible with the required orientation or mounting method.

Compatibility

Designed for use with AGD Group 2 dial indicators. Intended for applications where the back of the indicator must be replaced or reconfigured for a special mounting or inspection setup.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or metrology technician. Before replacing the indicator back, remove the indicator from any active fixture or magnetic base and ensure it is not under load. Use appropriate small-parts hand tools and handle the indicator body carefully to avoid damage to the dial face or spindle. Follow the indicator manufacturer's assembly guidance to ensure the back seats correctly and does not affect indicator accuracy.
