Dial indicators measure very small movements and differences in height. Machinists, mechanics and quality inspectors use them to check runout on shafts and spindles, flatness and parallelism, alignment of machine parts and bore size. This collection carries Mitutoyo and Starrett indicators, dial test indicators and bore gages.

How to choose a dial indicator

  • Plunger-type indicator: the plunger moves in a straight line. Mitutoyo Series 1, 2 and 3 and Starrett models are used for height, runout and flatness checks.
  • Dial test indicator: a small lever contact, as on the Mitutoyo Series 513, reaches into bores, slots and angled surfaces where a plunger cannot.
  • Bore gage: Mitutoyo Series 511 and 526 bore gages combine a dial indicator with a measuring head for checking hole diameters.
  • Mounting: indicators need a firm stand. The Mitutoyo Series 513 set includes a magnetic stand.

Dial indicator or dial test indicator?

Use a plunger dial indicator when the movement is straight in line with the plunger, such as checking a shaft for runout. Use a dial test indicator for side contact, tight spots and setting up work in a machine. For direct size readings, see digital micrometers and calipers. For vertical layout and step heights, see height gauges and depth gauges.
