Mitutoyo 513-455-10T Vertical Dial Test Indicator

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 513-455-10T is a vertical-style dial test indicator engineered for precision measurement in machine shop, toolroom, and inspection environments. It features a 0.0020mm graduation scale and a 40mm yellow dial face in a 0-100-0 bidirectional readout configuration. Accuracy is rated at 0.003 inches. The indicator uses a no-clutch structure for smooth, reliable stylus movement and incorporates an O-ring seal along with dust and oil resistance to hold up in demanding shop conditions. Two contact points are included. Licensed metrology technicians, machinists, and quality control professionals are the primary users of this instrument.

This indicator is suited for surface alignment, runout measurement, concentricity checks, and fixture setup on manual or CNC machine tools. The vertical indicator style allows access to confined areas where back-plunger or standard-plunger indicators may not reach. The carbide-tipped contact point extends service life on abrasive workpiece materials. The yellow 40mm dial with glare-free crystal and scratch-resistant face supports readability under shop lighting. It is appropriate for both bench use and on-machine inspection in light industrial and precision manufacturing settings.

Installation Notes

This instrument is installed and zeroed by machinists or metrology technicians. Mount the indicator using a compatible dovetail clamp or indicator holder and verify the stylus is oriented perpendicular to the measurement surface before zeroing. Avoid side-loading the stylus beyond its rated travel range, as this can affect accuracy. Handle the crystal face with care during installation to prevent scratching.
