Spi CMS160726032 Vertical Dial Test Indicator 0.0005 in

Product Description

The SPI CMS160726032 is a vertical dial test indicator designed for precision dimensional measurement in machining, metrology, and quality-control applications. It covers a measurement range of 0 to 0.02 inches with a dial graduation and accuracy of 0.0005 inches, making it suitable for close-tolerance inspection work. The indicator features a fully jeweled movement, satin chrome finish, and a 1.25-inch white dial with a 0-10-0 bidirectional reading scale. A NIST traceability certificate is included. Licensed machinists, toolmakers, metrologists, and quality technicians are the primary users of this instrument.

This indicator is used in precision measurement setups where a compact vertical-style indicator is required. Typical applications include surface plate inspection, fixture alignment, runout measurement on lathes and mills, and height gage setups. The dovetail mount and included universal clamp allow flexible positioning on a variety of standard indicator holders and transfer stands. The package includes two contact points, 5/32-inch and 3/8-inch dovetail extensions, a height gage bar, a universal clamp, and a fitted carrying case.

Key Features

• Fully jeweled movement for consistent accuracy and long service life
• 0.0005-inch graduation and 0.0005-inch accuracy across the 0 to 0.02-inch range
• Bidirectional 0-10-0 white dial, 1.25-inch diameter, with satin chrome finish
• Dovetail mount with universal positioning capability
• NIST traceability certificate included for documented calibration
• Complete kit: two contact points, dovetail extensions, height gage bar, universal clamp, and fitted case

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard dovetail-mount indicator holders, transfer stands, and height gages that accept 5/32-inch and 3/8-inch dovetail shanks. Included extensions and universal clamp extend fitment to a wide range of common setups.

Installation Notes

This indicator is installed and serviced by machinists, metrologists, or quality technicians familiar with precision measuring instruments. Secure the dovetail shank firmly in the holder before taking measurements to prevent drift or false readings. Avoid overtightening the clamp screw, as this can distort the dovetail and affect accuracy. Store the indicator in the fitted case when not in use to protect the jeweled movement and contact points.
