Mitutoyo 131314 Ball Contact Point Steel 0.0394 in

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 131314 is a ball-style contact point designed for use with dial test indicators. It features a 1.00 mm (0.0394 inches) ball diameter and a contact point length of 0.74 inches, machined from steel for durability and dimensional stability. This contact point threads onto the indicator spindle and serves as the sensing tip that transfers surface variation to the indicator dial. It is a wear item replaced by metrology technicians, QC inspectors, and precision machinists during routine maintenance or when switching measurement applications.

This contact point is suited for precision measurement tasks in machine shops, manufacturing facilities, and inspection departments. Ball-style tips are commonly used when measuring on curved surfaces, grooves, or areas where a flat or pointed tip would not seat reliably. The small 0.0394 inch ball diameter allows access to fine features and tight tolerances. Steel construction provides consistent contact geometry across repeated use cycles.

Key Features

• Ball diameter of 1.00 mm (0.0394 inches) for access to small features and curved surfaces
• Contact point length of 0.74 inches for standard indicator reach
• Steel construction for durability and stable contact geometry
• Direct replacement for worn or application-specific tip changes
• Packaged individually for single-unit replacement

Compatibility

Designed for use with Mitutoyo 513 Series Dial Test Indicators.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by metrology technicians or machinists. Power down or disengage any automated equipment before replacing the contact point. Thread the contact point carefully by hand to avoid cross-threading the indicator spindle. Do not overtighten, as the spindle threads on precision indicators are fine and can be damaged by excessive torque.
