Spi CMS160726056 Indicator Positioner Holder 180 Lb

Product Description

The SPI CMS160726056 is a magnetic indicator positioner holder designed to securely mount dial indicators, test indicators, and similar precision measurement instruments during inspection and machining operations. Built around a strong 180-pound magnetic pull base, this holder keeps gauges stable on ferrous surfaces throughout the measurement process. The articulated arm provides flexible positioning, while the fine adjustment feature allows precise final positioning of the indicator tip. At 5 pounds and an overall length of 15.26 inches, this unit is sized for shop-floor and toolroom use. Licensed machinists, quality control technicians, and metrology professionals install and operate this type of equipment.

This holder is suited for use on machine tool beds, surface plates, milling machine tables, lathe beds, and other ferrous workholding or fixturing surfaces in both production and inspection environments. The magnetic base activates and deactivates to allow quick repositioning without disturbing the workpiece setup. The articulated arm accommodates a range of indicator positions, and the 3/8-inch (9.53 mm) clamping diameter fits standard indicator stems. The rectangular base profile keeps the unit stable during extended measurement runs.

Key Features

• 180-pound magnetic pull for secure hold on ferrous surfaces
• Articulated arm with 13-3/8 inch arm length for flexible reach
• Fine adjustment mechanism for precise indicator tip placement
• 3/8-inch (9.53 mm) clamping diameter fits standard indicator stems
• Rectangular magnetic base included — no separate base purchase required
• Overall length of 15.26 inches suits a wide range of measurement setups

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose magnetic indicator holder compatible with dial indicators and test indicators having a standard 3/8-inch stem diameter, for use on any flat ferrous surface.

Installation Notes

Deactivate the magnetic base before positioning or repositioning on any surface. Ensure the mounting surface is clean, flat, and free of chips or coolant buildup that could reduce magnetic hold or affect measurement accuracy. Tighten all articulating joints firmly before taking measurements to prevent arm drift. This equipment is typically set up by machinists or quality technicians following shop metrology procedures — no special tools or code compliance is required for standard bench or machine-table use.
