Mitutoyo 136292 Ball Contact Point 1.2 in Steel

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 136292 is a steel ball contact point designed as a replacement or spare tip for dial test indicators. It features a 3.00 mm ball diameter and a contact point length of 1.2 inches, making it suitable for precision measurement tasks that require consistent, repeatable surface contact. The ball-style tip is machined from steel for durability under regular shop use. Metrology technicians and machinist tradespeople use this type of contact point when taking runout, alignment, or deviation readings on machined surfaces, bores, and fixtures.

This contact point is intended for use with Mitutoyo 513 Series dial test indicators. It fits into inspection routines on machine tools, surface plates, and CMM setups where a ball-style tip provides more uniform contact on curved or irregular surfaces than a flat or pointed tip. Typical applications include measuring shaft runout, checking bore alignment, and verifying part flatness in a production or toolroom environment.

Key Features

• Ball diameter of 3.00 mm for consistent contact on curved and irregular surfaces
• Contact point length of 1.2 inches
• Steel construction for durability and wear resistance in shop environments
• Designed for use with Mitutoyo 513 Series dial test indicators
• Sold individually as a direct replacement or spare contact point

Compatibility

Designed for use with Mitutoyo 513 Series Dial Test Indicators.

Installation Notes

Contact point replacement is typically performed by a machinist or metrology technician. Power down or disengage any automated equipment before servicing an indicator mounted in a machine tool setup. Thread the contact point carefully by hand to avoid cross-threading the indicator spindle, and do not over-torque. Verify the indicator reads zero correctly against a known reference surface after swapping contact points.
