The contact tip features a 1.00 mm (0.039 inch) diameter steel ball and a total contact point length of 1.47 inches. The steel construction provides durability and dimensional stability during repeated use. This type of contact point is a consumable replacement component installed by machinists, metrologists, and quality control technicians working with dial-type test indicators on inspection fixtures, CMMs, and surface plates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis contact point is suited for precision measurement tasks where a small-radius ball tip is needed to probe features such as bores, grooves, or curved surfaces. It threads into compatible test indicator spindles and replaces worn or damaged contact points without requiring full instrument replacement. Its compact dimensions make it appropriate for confined measurement areas in both shop-floor and lab environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel ball tip for wear resistance and consistent contact geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBall diameter of 1.00 mm (0.039 inch) for fine-feature measurement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eContact point length of 1.47 inches suits standard test indicator reach requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReplacement part that restores indicator function without full instrument replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.1 pounds, minimizing added mass on sensitive indicator spindles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with Teclock test indicators.

Before replacing, remove the indicator from any active fixture and ensure it is not under spring load or clamping force. Use the appropriate contact point wrench or spanner to avoid damaging the indicator spindle threads. Do not overtighten, as this can distort the spindle or affect indicator calibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.039 inches (1.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact Point Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.47 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact Point Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ball\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SPI\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20-657-3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SPIROTHERM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51699658096946,"sku":"20-657-3","price":15.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ea97aebd5fe83165b424d23c7160c9f3.jpg?v=1788378807","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/spi-20-657-3-ball-contact-point-steel-teclock-test-indicators","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
