The contact point features a solid carbide ball tip measuring 0.06 inches in diameter with a 1-inch contact point length. The 4-48 threaded shank provides a secure, standardized connection to compatible indicator bodies. This type of contact point is installed by metrology technicians and precision measurement professionals who need reliable stylus contact geometry for accurate surface or positional readings in quality control and inspection environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis contact point is suited for dimensional inspection tasks in manufacturing, machine shop, and quality lab settings. The ball contact geometry is appropriate for measurements on curved surfaces, grooves, and applications where a flat or pointed tip would introduce cosine error or surface damage. Solid carbide construction provides wear resistance under repeated contact cycles. Compatible instrument types include dial indicators, Digimatic dial indicators, and linear gages as specified by the manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide ball tip for long service life and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.06-inch (1.50 mm) ball diameter for precise contact geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-inch contact point length for standard reach applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-48 threaded shank for secure attachment to compatible indicator bodies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for dial gages designed for mounting configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrop indicator style for compatibility with standard replacement applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with dial indicators, Digimatic dial indicators, and linear gages.

Power down or zero out the indicator before removing or installing contact points to avoid false readings. Use appropriate wrenches sized for the contact point shank to avoid damaging the thread or indicator spindle. Do not overtighten, as over-torquing the 4-48 thread can strip the spindle or crack the carbide tip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact Point Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ball\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\u003eBall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 inches (1.50 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact Point Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Instrument Types\u003c\/strong\u003e: Dial Indicators, Digimatic Dial Indicators, Linear Gages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 131268\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MITUTOYO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51564032164146,"sku":"131268","price":43.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b086678abdaa8dea9752ccfcdd9f640f.jpg?v=1786509229","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/mitutoyo-131268-ball-contact-point-4-48-dial-indicator","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
