Dial Sensor ATOPIA 2046AB 10/0.01 — mechanical dial indicator, range 10 mm, resolution 0.01 mm

The ATOPIA 2046AB mechanical dial indicator offers a 10 mm measuring range with 0.01 mm resolution for contact-based dimensional inspection. Designed for workshops, inspection benches and assembly stations, this dial sensor provides a graduated dial face and a spring-loaded probe for repeatable readings during runout checks, alignment tasks and parts verification. The robust mechanical construction makes it suitable for everyday use where simple, reliable visual measurement is required.

Advantages

This mechanical dial indicator combines fine resolution with a compact 10 mm range to deliver precise incremental readings. Its graduated dial and clear pointer allow quick visual interpretation without power or electronics. The contact probe and sprung spindle ensure consistent contact force for repeatable measurements, and the rugged housing resists everyday workshop wear. The instrument is straightforward to mount on stands or fixtures and integrates easily into inspection routines.

Suitable for

• Dimensional measurement of turned, milled and stamped parts
• Runout and concentricity checks on shafts and spindles
• Alignment and setup of tooling and machine fixtures
• Quality control inspections at benches and measuring stations

Key specifications

• Measuring range: 10 mm
• Resolution (graduation): 0.01 mm
• Display type: Graduated dial with pointer
• Contact tip: Hardened probe with spring-loaded spindle
• Mounting: Standard stem for holders and magnetic stands
• Repeatability: Suitable for workshop-level repeat measurements

How to use

Secure the indicator in an appropriate holder or magnetic base so the stem is stable and aligned with the surface to be measured. Bring the contact tip gently into contact with the workpiece and preload the spring slightly to ensure correct contact force. Rotate the bezel, if available, to set the dial to zero at the reference position. Record deflections by reading the pointer against the graduated dial as the part or gauge is moved. For runout checks, rotate the part slowly and observe the maximum and minimum pointer deflections.

Usage recommendations

Store the dial indicator in a protective case when not in use, avoid exposing it to heavy shocks or strong magnetic fields, and periodically verify accuracy against a calibrated gauge or reference standard. Clean the contact tip and spindle regularly and apply light oil to moving parts if recommended by maintenance guidelines.
