Mitutoyo 513-454-10E Dial Test Indicator 0.8mm Yellow

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 513-454-10E is a vertical-style dial test indicator designed for precision measurement in machining, metrology, and quality control applications. It covers a maximum measurement range of 0.8 mm with a 0-40-0 bidirectional dial reading, making it well suited for runout checks, surface alignment, and comparative gauging tasks. The yellow dial face measures 40 mm in diameter for clear graduation readability. Resolution is 0.01 mm per graduation (0.000393 decimal inch per graduation), and accuracy is rated at 8 micrometers. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and quality inspectors are the primary users of this instrument.

This indicator is used in horizontal and vertical setups on surface plates, milling machines, lathes, and CMM fixtures. Its vertical contact point orientation suits applications where the probe must approach the workpiece from above or in a constrained inline path. The indicator ships with one carbide contact point, a knurled clamp ring, and a stem, providing the hardware needed for most standard setups without additional accessories.

Key Features

• 0.8 mm maximum measurement range with 0-40-0 bidirectional dial reading
• 0.01 mm graduation resolution (0.000393 decimal inch) for fine comparative measurement
• 8 micrometer accuracy rating
• 40 mm yellow dial face for high-contrast readability
• Vertical contact point style for inline probe approach applications
• Includes carbide contact point, knurled clamp ring, and stem

Compatibility

Designed as a standard vertical-style dial test indicator compatible with conventional indicator holders, magnetic bases, and clamp-style mounting arms that accept a standard stem shank.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, metrologists, or quality technicians using a magnetic base, snug clamp, or articulating arm holder. Secure the stem firmly in the holder to prevent indicator creep during measurement. Verify the contact point is seated fully and the clamp ring is tightened before zeroing the dial. Handle the instrument carefully to avoid shock or drop damage, which can affect calibration and internal gear integrity.
