Universal back-plunger dial indicators
The universal back-plunger dial indicators are the most versatile
indicators available…and it is the “granddaddy�?of them all. Over
the years this tool has been improved by methods and meterials but
the basic design is unchanged. The design is older than most of you
and has withstood the test of time and beaten all challengers
because it is:
�?Accurate and reliable
�?Simple to operate
�?Rugged, with few moving parts
�?Smooth in operattion
�?Inexpensive—the best indicator value you can buy
While there is a need for indicators with finer graduations, such as
our universal back-plunger
dial indicators ,these indicators with graduations to .001″and
0.02mm will handle by far the majority of jobs. Shank diameter is
1/4�?6.3mm). Antimagnetic models are also available (inch
reading).
For full use, the operator first chooses the proper contact from the
three hardened contact points that come with each model. Then the
contact should be brought against the work with enough pressure to
give the hand one full turn. Set the hand at zero by rotating the
dial with the knurled bezel. This provides one full rotation of the
hand both to the right and left of zero, showing a rise or drop in
the work and the amount and the amount of that ariation.
