The base generates 176 pounds of magnetic pull, providing a stable, vibration-resistant hold on ferrous surfaces such as machine tables, surface plates, lathe beds, and milling fixtures. A fine adjustment arm spans 13.375 inches and allows precise positioning of the indicator tip without disturbing the base. The unit weighs 3.5 pounds and is built for shop-floor use by machinists, quality control technicians, and toolroom professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ECE-340 is suited for use in manufacturing, toolroom, and quality inspection environments. It mounts to any clean ferrous surface and is used when a dial indicator or similar gauge needs to be held at a fixed position for part measurement, runout checks, surface flatness verification, or fixture alignment. The fine adjustment arm allows repeatable micro-positioning that a fixed-arm base cannot provide. This base is a standard tool in CNC shops, manual machining operations, and metrology labs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e176 lb magnetic pull for secure hold on ferrous surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine adjustment arm for precise indicator positioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e13.375-inch arm length provides extended reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact base footprint: 2.375 inches long, 2 inches wide, 2.125 inches tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.5 lb unit weight keeps the assembly manageable during repositioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose magnetic indicator base compatible with standard dial indicators and test indicators used in machining and inspection applications on ferrous work-holding and machine surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDe-energize or power down any machine before placing or repositioning the magnetic base on the machine table. Ensure the mounting surface is clean, flat, and free of chips or coolant buildup before activating the magnet to achieve full rated pull force. Engage and disengage the magnetic lock fully  -  partial engagement reduces holding force and can allow indicator drift. Installation and use of precision measuring setups should follow applicable shop safety procedures and equipment manufacturer guidelines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMagnetic Pull\u003c\/strong\u003e: 176 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArm Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fine Adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArm Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 13.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: TECHNIKS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: ECE-340\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TECHNIKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52108074189106,"sku":"ECE-340","price":120.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6d28808b7a0f6233aaa02f0e5d5595cd.jpg?v=1790074631","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/techniks-ece-340-magnetic-indicator-base-176-lb-pull","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
