    Find misalignment across adjacent shafts—these clamps position a dial indicator on each shaft to locate offset or angular misalignment in both the horizontal and vertical axes.
    Continuous—Continuous dials are numbered clockwise around the face for direct measurement.
    Balanced—Balanced dials are more versatile than continuous dials because they help detect misalignment in both directions. They have a center zero with positive values on one side and negative values on the other.
    Back Plunger—Back plungers take up less space in your set up because their plunger sits flush against the shaft. They mount in multiple orientations to fit in a variety of set ups.
    Bottom Plunger—Bottom plungers are oriented best to detect vertical misalignment. They’re also mountable and allow you to see the shaft and dial indicator at the same time, giving you accurate readings.
