MITUTOYO 2416S Dial Indicator Agd 2 1 In

Mitutoyo 2416S dial indicator is a precision instrument used to measure small distances or changes in position accurately. It is used in manufacturing, engineering and mechanical services to ensure that parts are machined correctly and assemblies are consistent.

Working Mechanism:

• Begin by securing the dial indicator to a stable stand or fixture, often with a magnetic base or clamp, ensuring it is firmly positioned against the object to be measured.
• Place the contact point of the indicator against the surface or part to be measured. The contact point is the part of the indicator that moves perpendicularly to the object's surface.
• As the object moves, the internal mechanism of the dial indicator translates this linear motion into rotary motion, which causes the pointer on the dial to move. The scale around the dial shows the amount of movement, typically in increments such as thousandths of an inch or hundredths of a millimetre.
• Continuous reading dials like the 2416S allow you to track total movement from the zero point, not just incremental changes.

Features:

• It has continuous reading capability, allowing ongoing observation of measurement values without resetting.
• This Mitutoyo dial gauge operates with a plunger mechanism for quick and precise measurement of surfaces.
• It includes a sturdy box case that protects the dial indicator from physical and environmental damage during storage and transportation.
• This indicator incorporates plain bearings that enhance the smoothness of the plunger movement.

Compatible Accessories:

• Westward 2YND8 Magnetic Base Holder: It features a magnetic base linked to an adjustable arm assembly, which is used to mount and position indicators. This holder is either activated or equipped with an on / off knob or button, allowing them to be attached to machines, motors, benches or other metal surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What type of mounting does this dial indicator feature?

A. It features a lug back that provides easy mounting on indicator stands or fixtures, allowing for versatile positioning and secure installation.

Q. How do you calibrate a Mitutoyo dial gauge?

A. To calibrate it, reset the device to zero on a known flat surface. Next, use gauge blocks or a precision step master to set known distances, comparing the indicator's readings against these standards. Adjust the dial accordingly until the indicator's readings match the known distances at various points along its range.

Q. How accurate is Mitutoyo 2416S dial indicator?

A. The contact point is ball-shaped enabling point contact for minimal surface distortion, providing more accurate measurements on various surface types.

Q. Can we preset the tolerance in this indicator?

A. Yes, this dial indicator comes with limited hands allowing for presetting of tolerances, which helps quickly identify measurements falling within or outside set parameters.
