Spi CMS160412036 Indicator Positioner Holder 65 Lb Pull

Product Description

The SPI CMS160412036 is a magnetic-base indicator positioner holder designed to secure dial indicators, test indicators, and similar precision measuring instruments during inspection and layout work. The unit features an articulated arm for flexible positioning across multiple axes, along with a fine adjustment mechanism that allows precise final positioning without disturbing the magnetic base. The rectangular magnetic base delivers 65 pounds of pull force, providing a stable, vibration-resistant hold on ferrous surfaces. Machinists, quality control technicians, and toolroom professionals rely on this type of holder for repeatable, accurate setups on surface plates, machine tables, and workholding fixtures.

This indicator holder is suited for use in machine shops, quality labs, and production environments where dial indicators or test indicators must be held in a fixed position during measurement. The articulated arm configuration allows the user to reach into recessed areas or position an indicator at angles that a rigid arm cannot achieve. The included magnetic base with arm makes this a complete, ready-to-use assembly out of the box. It is appropriate for both shop-floor and inspection-room applications where a stable, repositionable mounting solution is needed.

Key Features

• 65 lb magnetic pull force for firm, stable hold on ferrous surfaces
• Articulated arm design allows multi-axis positioning and reach into confined spaces
• Fine adjustment mechanism for precise final indicator positioning
• Rectangular magnetic base with 35 mm height, 35 mm length, and 30 mm width
• Includes magnetic base with arm — complete assembly, no additional components required
• Overall arm reach of 435 mm for extended positioning flexibility

Compatibility

Designed as a universal-style magnetic indicator holder compatible with standard dial indicators and test indicators commonly used in machine shop and quality control inspection setups. No specific instrument model compatibility was stated by the manufacturer for this part number.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or quality technicians and requires no tools. Before placing the magnetic base, ensure the mounting surface is clean, flat, and free of chips or coolant that could reduce magnetic contact and pull force. Engage the magnetic base only after the arm and indicator have been roughly positioned to avoid dragging the assembly across precision surfaces. Use the fine adjustment feature for final positioning after the base is locked down to prevent disturbing the setup.
