Mitutoyo 513-405-10E Dial Test Indicator 0.2mm Horizontal

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 513-405-10E is a horizontal-style dial test indicator designed for high-precision measurement in machining, inspection, and metrology applications. It delivers a maximum measurement range of 0.2 mm with a dial graduation of 0.002 mm and a stated accuracy of 0.003 mm (3 micrometers), making it suitable for surface runout checks, part alignment, and fine tolerance verification. The jeweled bearing mechanism supports smooth, repeatable stylus movement. A carbide-tipped contact point and O-ring sealed housing provide durability in shop-floor environments. Licensed metrologists, machinists, and quality control technicians are the primary users of this instrument.

This indicator is built for precision dimensional inspection tasks on machine tools, surface plates, and fixture setups. The horizontal configuration allows the contact point to approach a workpiece from the side, which suits bore alignment, concentricity checks, and setups where a vertical plunger-style indicator cannot reach. The yellow glare-free crystal dial face with 0-100-0 bidirectional reading enables fast, accurate zeroing without readjustment. The no-clutch structure and automatic reversal mechanism reduce mechanical wear during repetitive measurements. The package includes the dial indicator, one contact point, and a knurled clamp ring for mounting.

Key Features

• 0.2 mm full measurement range with 0.002 mm per graduation resolution
• Accuracy of 0.003 mm (3 micrometers) for high-tolerance inspection work
• Jeweled bearing for smooth, low-friction stylus movement and long service life
• Horizontal style with automatic reversal and no-clutch structure for reduced mechanical wear
• Carbide-tipped contact point resists wear on hardened and abrasive surfaces
• Dust and oil proof with O-ring seal; glare-free, scratch-resistant crystal dial face

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision test indicator within the Mitutoyo Series 513 product line. Compatible with standard dovetail-mount indicator holders and arms that accept horizontal dial test indicators.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists and metrology technicians using a standard dovetail clamp or indicator holder arm. Secure the knurled clamp ring snugly without over-tightening to avoid distorting the indicator body. Before measuring, ensure the contact point is properly threaded and the indicator is zeroed at mid-range when possible to allow bidirectional travel. Keep the contact point perpendicular to the measured surface within the recommended stylus angle range to maintain stated accuracy.
