Product Description

The SPI Z9610SS is a test indicator axial support bracket designed to secure and position test indicators during precision measurement tasks. This bracket provides a stable mounting solution for indicators equipped with dovetail, 5/32 inch, or 1/4 inch stems, allowing technicians and machinists to achieve consistent axial alignment. It supports accurate surface, bore, and runout inspections by keeping the indicator firmly in place throughout the measurement process. Weighing 1 pound, the Z9610SS is a compact, single-piece accessory suited for use at the workbench or on the machine.

This axial support bracket is used in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and quality control environments where test indicators are mounted for repetitive or sensitive measurements. It is compatible with dovetail-style indicator shanks as well as 5/32 inch and 1/4 inch stem diameters, covering a range of common test indicator configurations. Machinists, tool and die makers, and quality technicians typically incorporate this bracket into indicator setups on surface plates, magnetic bases, or machine spindles.
