Dial Indicator INSIZE 2308-10FA — range 10 mm, resolution 0.01 mm

Dial indicator INSIZE 2308-10FA is a mechanical dial-type gauge designed to measure linear displacement with a 10 mm measuring range and 0.01 mm resolution. The instrument features a clear graduated dial, a contact probe and a robust housing intended for workshop and quality control environments. It provides repeatable analog readings for alignment, runout checks and comparative measurement tasks where simple, reliable indication of small movements is required.

Advantages

The mechanical construction delivers stable performance without reliance on batteries or electronics, while the 0.01 mm resolution makes it suitable for precision inspection tasks. The clear graduated dial and distinct pointer enable quick visual reading, and the contact probe with return spring ensures consistent contact with the measured surface. The compact design allows mounting in stands, fixtures or magnetic bases commonly used in machining and inspection setups.

Suitable for

• Measuring runout and concentricity of shafts and spindles
• Comparative measurement and thickness variation checks
• Alignment of machine components and fixturing
• Workshop inspection and quality control of turned, milled or ground parts

Key specifications

• Measuring range: 10 mm
• Resolution: 0.01 mm
• Display type: analog graduated dial with pointer
• Probe type: contact probe with return spring
• Construction: mechanical movement in protective housing suitable for workshop use
• Mounting: compatible with standard dial indicator holders and stands

How to use

Secure the dial indicator in an appropriate holder or magnetic base so the probe is aligned with the measurement point. Gently bring the contact probe into contact with the surface to be measured and ensure the probe travels within the central portion of its travel to avoid measurement error. Zero the dial by rotating the bezel if comparative readings are required, then move the workpiece or indicator to record maximum deviation, runout or displacement. Read the value directly from the dial using the pointer and count revolutions if the measuring range span is exceeded.

Usage recommendations

Handle the indicator carefully to avoid shock to the mechanical movement. Keep the contact tip clean and free of chips or coolant. Store the instrument in a protective case when not in use and avoid exposing it to excessive moisture or strong magnetic fields. For traceable results, verify accuracy periodically using gauge blocks or calibration standards appropriate for a 0.01 mm resolution instrument.
