Mitutoyo 513-463-10E Dial Test Indicator Horizontal

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 513-463-10E 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 0.008 inches per revolution with a dial graduation and accuracy of 0.0001 inches, making it well suited for surface runout checks, part alignment, and fixture verification. The indicator features a jeweled bearing for smooth, consistent needle movement and is built with a no-clutch structure for automatic reversal. The white dial face is 40 millimeters in diameter and is covered by a glare-free, scratch-resistant, high-impact crystal with an O-ring seal for dust and oil protection.

This dial test indicator is used in tool rooms, machine shops, and quality control environments where tight tolerances must be confirmed quickly and reliably. The horizontal style is commonly mounted on magnetic bases, articulating arms, or surface plate setups for part runout inspection, spindle alignment, and comparative gaging. The carbide-tipped contact point resists wear during repeated contact with hardened workpieces. It comes complete with a contact point, knurled clamp ring, and stem, allowing immediate setup without additional accessories in most standard indicator holders.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard horizontal dial test indicator compatible with common indicator holders, magnetic bases, and articulating arm fixtures that accept a standard stem mount. Part of the Mitutoyo Series 513 dial test indicator line.

Installation Notes

Dial test indicators are installed and serviced by machinists, metrology technicians, and quality control professionals. Secure the stem firmly in the holder clamp before taking measurements to prevent slippage that would affect readings. Avoid applying side loads beyond the rated contact point travel, as overtravel can damage the jeweled bearing assembly. Keep the indicator free of coolant immersion even though the unit is dust and oil resistant.
