Dial Indicator INSIZE 2381-08, range 0.08 mm, resolution 0.01 mm

Mechanical dial indicator INSIZE 2381-08 provides high-precision displacement and runout measurements with a compact measuring range of 0.08 mm and a scale resolution of 0.01 mm. The instrument uses a mechanical movement and a graduated dial with a contact probe to deliver repeatable comparative checks and accurate detection of small deviations on machined parts and metal surfaces. Designed for workshop use and quality control, the device supports alignment, inspection and setup tasks where fine dimensional changes must be monitored.

Advantages

The dial indicator combines a finely graduated dial and a reliable mechanical movement for stable readings without batteries. Its small measuring range and 0.01 mm resolution enable detection of minute displacements and runout on shafts, bores and precision components. The robust construction and simple contact-probe operation make it suitable for repeated comparative checks and alignment tasks in production and maintenance environments.

Suitable for

• Measuring axial or radial runout on shafts and spindles
• Comparative thickness and deviation checks on machined parts
• Machine setup and alignment verification
• Quality control inspections of small dimensional deviations

Key specifications

• Measuring range: 0.08 mm
• Resolution: 0.01 mm
• Indication type: Graduated mechanical dial
• Contact type: Contact probe for displacement transfer
• Typical mounting: Back or stem mounting for fixtures and stands
• Application environment: Workshop and quality control inspection

How to use

Secure the dial indicator in a stand or fixture using the appropriate mounting option. Position the contact probe against the measurement surface so the probe is perpendicular to the measured feature. Zero the dial at a reference surface or use a known standard, then move the part or probe to record deviations. Read values directly from the graduated dial with 0.01 mm increments and compare against tolerance limits or reference measurements.

Usage recommendations

Handle the instrument carefully to avoid shock or impact to the mechanical movement. Keep the contact probe clean and free of burrs; when not in use, store the indicator in a protective case. For repeatable results, use a stable stand, ensure consistent contact force and perform periodic calibration according to workshop quality procedures.
