Mitutoyo 513-454-10T Vertical Dial Test Indicator

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 513-454-10T is a vertical dial test indicator designed for high-precision measurement in machining, inspection, and metrology applications. It covers a range of 0 to 0.008 inches with a graduation of 0.0100mm and a stated accuracy of 0.0001 inches. The 40mm white dial is glare-free and easy to read under shop lighting. Built with a no-clutch structure and automatic reversal, it delivers consistent, repeatable readings. The carbide-tipped contact point and O-ring sealed body make it durable in environments where coolant, oil, and debris are present. Machinists, quality control technicians, and tool-and-die professionals are the primary users of this instrument.

This indicator is suited for use in machine shops, manufacturing facilities, and inspection departments where tight tolerances must be verified. It mounts to standard indicator holders, magnetic bases, and dial indicator stands for setup work such as runout checks, surface comparisons, bore alignment, and fixture verification. The vertical style is preferred in applications where the contact point must approach the workpiece from the side or at an angle. One contact point is included with the unit.

Key Features

• Vertical indicator style for side-approach and angled measurement setups
• 0 to 0.008 inch range with 0.0100mm graduation for fine resolution
• 0.0001 inch accuracy for high-precision inspection work
• Automatic reversal and no-clutch structure for smooth, reliable operation
• Carbide-tipped contact point resists wear in production environments
• O-ring seal and dust and oil proof construction for shop durability
• Glare-free, scratch-resistant crystal over a 40mm white dial for clear readability

Compatibility

Designed as a standard vertical dial test indicator compatible with conventional indicator holders, magnetic base clamps, and dovetail-style mounting accessories common in metrology and machine shop setups.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of precision dial indicators should be performed by qualified machinists or metrology technicians familiar with indicator mounting and zeroing procedures. Secure the indicator firmly in the holder to prevent movement during measurement. Avoid side-loading the spindle or contact arm beyond the designed sweep range, as this can affect accuracy and damage internal components. Ensure the machine or fixture being measured is stationary and powered down before taking contact measurements on moving components.
