Machined from solid carbide, this contact point threads into the indicator spindle via a 4-48 thread and provides a 0.2-inch contact diameter across a 0.5-inch contact point length. Its carbide construction resists wear during repeated measurement cycles, making it well suited for production inspection environments where contact point longevity matters. Metrology technicians, quality control inspectors, and precision machining shops rely on this type of accessory to maintain accurate gage readings across high-volume setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis contact point is rated for use with AGD Groups 1, 2, 3, and 4 dial gages, covering the most common range of American Gage Design indicator body sizes found in shop and lab environments. It is appropriate for both bench setups and surface plate work where a standard shell-style tip is required. The 4-48 thread is the industry-standard thread for AGD-compatible drop indicator contact points, so this part fits directly without adapters in most setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for extended wear life in high-cycle measurement applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-48 thread size matches AGD-standard indicator spindles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.2-inch contact diameter for precise point contact on measured surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.5-inch contact point length provides consistent gage reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with AGD Groups 1, 2, 3, and 4 drop indicators\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShell contact point style suitable for mounting on standard dial gage spindles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with AGD 1, 2, 3, and 4 drop indicators and dial gages that accept a standard 4-48 threaded contact point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by metrology technicians or machine operators familiar with precision measurement tools. Before replacing a contact point, remove the indicator from any active gage stand or fixture and zero out any spring tension on the spindle. Thread the contact point in by hand first to avoid cross-threading the 4-48 thread, then snug with the appropriate wrench without over-torquing, as carbide tips are brittle and the spindle threads are fine-pitched. Verify gage calibration after contact point replacement before returning the instrument to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact Point Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Shell\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-48\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact Point Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2 inches (5.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Gage Groups\u003c\/strong\u003e: AGD 1, 2, 3, 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.125 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MITUTOYO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 101185\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MITUTOYO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51562608492850,"sku":"101185","price":22.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/88dc47db0370d2196a8d8b053c6ff319.jpg?v=1786480700","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/mitutoyo-101185-drop-indicator-shell-contact-point","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
