Mitutoyo 102036 Test Indicator Stem

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 102036 is a replacement stem accessory designed for use with test indicators. The stem is a core structural component that mounts the indicator body to a magnetic base, surface gauge, or similar holding fixture, allowing the dial face and contact point to be positioned accurately during inspection work. Licensed metrology technicians, machinist-level tool and die professionals, and quality control technicians install this part when an existing stem is damaged, lost, or incompatible with a new mounting setup. It restores full function to the indicator without replacing the entire instrument.

This stem is intended for bench-level and in-process inspection applications where a test indicator must be rigidly positioned against a workpiece surface, bore, or reference datum. Typical uses include runout measurement, surface parallelism checks, and fixture alignment in machine shops, manufacturing cells, and quality labs. It is sold as a single unit and is a direct OEM-style accessory from MITUTOYO.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a metrology technician or machinist. Before replacing the stem, ensure the indicator is removed from any active fixture and that no load is applied to the contact point. Follow the indicator manufacturer's assembly guidance to avoid overtightening, which can misalign the stem or damage the indicator body. No specialized trade licensing is required, but proper torque awareness and clean mating surfaces are essential for accurate readings after reinstallation.
