Mitutoyo 131324 Test Indicator Ball Contact Point Carbide

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 131324 is a carbide ball contact point designed for use with dial test indicators in precision measurement applications. It features a 2.00 mm (0.0787 inch) ball diameter and a contact point length of 1.48 inches, providing accurate, repeatable contact on workpiece surfaces. The carbide tip construction offers excellent wear resistance, making it suitable for regular use in machine shop, toolroom, and metrology environments. Machinists, quality control technicians, and precision measurement professionals install and swap contact points as part of routine indicator maintenance and setup.

This contact point is intended for use with Mitutoyo 513 Series dial test indicators. It is a standard replacement or supplemental contact point used in setups where a ball-style tip is required for surface contact, bore measurement, or workpiece alignment tasks. The ball tip geometry is commonly chosen when contacting curved surfaces or when a defined contact geometry is needed for consistent measurement results across repeated setups.

Designed for use with Mitutoyo 513 Series Dial Test Indicators.

Installation Notes

Contact point replacement is performed by machinists or metrology technicians using the appropriate wrench or contact point tool to avoid overtightening the threaded stem. Remove the indicator from active use before swapping contact points to prevent damage to the indicator spindle. Handle carbide-tipped contact points with care, as carbide is hard but brittle and can chip if dropped on a hard surface.
