Spi 20-203-6 Carbide Contact Point Kafer Dial Indicators

Product Description

The SPI 20-203-6 is a carbide contact point designed for use with Kafer inch dial indicators. Contact points are the measurement-critical tip components that make direct contact with the workpiece surface during inspection routines. The carbide construction provides superior wear resistance compared to standard steel tips, maintaining dimensional accuracy over extended use cycles. This replacement point is a small but essential part of maintaining the precision performance of dial indicator setups on the shop floor or in the inspection room. Licensed metrology technicians and machinists typically install and swap contact points as part of routine instrument maintenance.

This contact point is intended for use with Kafer inch dial indicators in industrial measurement and inspection applications. Typical use cases include surface runout checks, bore gauging setups, and part-feature inspection on manual or CMM-adjacent workflows. The carbide tip material is well suited for repetitive contact cycles against hardened or abrasive workpiece surfaces where softer contact point materials would wear prematurely and introduce measurement error.

Key Features

• Carbide contact point material for extended wear resistance and dimensional stability
• Designed specifically for Kafer inch dial indicators
• Replacement-ready format for field or lab indicator maintenance
• Lightweight construction at 0.05 pounds

Compatibility

Designed for use with Kafer inch dial indicators as stated by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Contact point replacement is typically performed by a machinist or metrology technician using appropriate spanner tools or a contact point wrench sized for the indicator stem thread. Power-down or lockout procedures are not required for hand-held indicators, but the indicator should be removed from any active fixture or measuring stand before servicing. Avoid over-torquing the contact point during installation, as this can damage the indicator stem threads. Verify zero calibration after replacing any contact point before returning the indicator to service.
