Value Collection 625-1160 Indicator Positioner Holder

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 625-1160 is a magnetic-base indicator positioner holder designed for securing dial indicators and similar precision measuring instruments during inspection and machining operations. The unit delivers 130 lb of magnetic pull force, providing stable, vibration-resistant holding on ferrous surfaces. A fine-adjustment mechanism allows precise positioning of the articulated arm, letting the technician dial in exact indicator placement without repositioning the base. The steel construction supports repeated shop-floor use. The base and articulated arm are included as a complete assembly, ready for immediate use out of the box.

This holder is suited for use in machine shops, toolrooms, and quality-control environments where dial indicators, test indicators, or similar gauging instruments must be held rigidly in a fixed position during measurement. Typical applications include runout checks, surface comparisons, and fixture-mounted inspections on mills, lathes, surface plates, and similar ferrous setups. The rectangular magnetic base keeps the footprint compact and predictable on crowded work surfaces.

Key Features

• 130 lb magnetic pull force for secure holding on ferrous surfaces
• Fine-adjustment mechanism for precise indicator positioning
• Articulated arm style allows flexible reach and angle control
• Rectangular base with compact footprint: 2.25 inches long, 2 inches wide, 2.125 inches tall
• Steel construction for durability in shop environments
• Complete assembly includes magnetic base and articulated arm holder

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use holder compatible with standard dial indicators and test indicators mounted in typical shop and inspection setups on ferrous surfaces.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, toolroom technicians, or quality-control inspectors and requires no special tools. Before engaging the magnetic base, ensure the mounting surface is clean, flat, and free of chips or debris that could reduce holding force or affect indicator accuracy. Disengage the magnetic base before repositioning to avoid dragging across precision surfaces. Verify that the 130 lb pull rating is adequate for the vibration level of the specific machine or fixture before use.
