Spi SWI1001-38 Test Indicator Clamp Dovetail Style

Product Description

The SPI SWI1001-38 is a test indicator clamp designed for use with dovetail style dial test indicators. It provides a secure mounting point that holds the indicator in position during precision measurement tasks. The clamp features an 11/16-inch (0.6875 inches) shank and an overall length of 1.5 inches. Machinists, toolmakers, and metrologists install this accessory when setting up dial test indicators on surface plates, machine tools, and inspection fixtures. Its compact form makes it well-suited for tight measurement setups where clearance is limited.

This clamp is intended for precision measurement environments including machine shops, quality control labs, and manufacturing floor inspection stations. It attaches to dovetail style dial test indicators and is typically used in conjunction with magnetic bases, articulating arms, or other indicator holding systems. The compact shank length keeps the indicator close to the mounting point, reducing lever-arm error during sensitive measurements.

Installation Notes

This clamp is installed by machinists or metrologists as part of a dial test indicator setup. Before mounting or repositioning the indicator, ensure the host machine or fixture is powered down and at rest. Use appropriate hand tools to secure the clamp without overtightening, which can deform the dovetail contact surfaces. Follow applicable shop metrology procedures and equipment manufacturer guidelines when integrating the clamp into a measurement setup.
