Stronger and with greater load capacities than gooseneck-style positioning arms, these arms keep their shape even when moving or when exposed to vibration. They’re often used in robotics and conveyor applications when frequent repositioning isn’t required.

Attached to an arm you can flex into position, these clamps hold objects such as a flashlight, tool, or instructions. Squeeze the handles to open the clamp; release and the spring holds it tightly in place.

Magnetic-mount clamp attaches to steel surfaces.

A flexible ball-and-socket segmented arm adjusts to nearly any position and locks in place with a lever. The base is comprised of adjustable magnetic pins which allow it to conform to any shape and grip most metal surfaces. It has a magnetic-release switch for easy setups.

Adjust the flexible ball-and-socket segmented arm to nearly any position and lock in place. A heavy base adds stability.

Holders with a granite base have an extremely tight flatness tolerance. Their flatness gives you an accurate reference for inspection work and lets you move workpieces in and out smoothly. These holders have a fine-adjustment clamp to position indicators at precise angles.

Stabilize and precisely position your indicator with these weighted bases. Attached to the base, these holders have a jointed arm for moving your indicator up and down and in and out. Tighten the knob on the arm to lock it in place and use the fine-adjustment clamp for angling your indicator just right. Made of granite, the base has an extremely tight flatness tolerance, so it creates an accurate reference point for inspection work. It also means you can easily slide your workpiece in and out.

These holders come with a certificate of accuracy traceable to NIST stating that the granite base has passed a test for surface accuracy. The extremely tight flatness tolerances of the granite allow for nearly frictionless workpiece movement and provide an accurate reference plane for inspection work.

Adjust joints at the top, middle, and bottom of the base to position the indicator in place. Use the knob on the fine-adjustment clamp to precisely angle the indicator. The base is magnetic and has a V-groove on the bottom for a solid mount on flat and curved metal surfaces. Flip a switch to release the magnet.

A spring-loaded plunger extends and retracts from the indicator to take measurements. The measurements display on an easy-to-read LCD display. Start measuring at any point by pressing the zero-set button. They have zero-position memory, also known as absolute (ABS) positioning, which retains the measuring position when the indicator is off.

All can send data to your computer using a USB cord (sold separately). Indicators with Bluetooth Connection can transfer your measurement data wirelessly to your device with the push of a button. You'll need a data transmitter/receiver set (sold separately). .

IP67-rated indicators seal out coolant, water, and dust, so you can take measurements in dirty machining environments.

Tolerance checking indicators inform you when an item falls outside your set measurements.

With adjustable magnetic pins that conform to any shape, the base on these variance indicators mounts securely to uneven surfaces. The ball-and-socket arm is highly adjustable and locks in place with a lever, so it holds the indicator in almost any position. For quick dismounting, the base has a magnetic release switch.

All can send data to your computer using a USB cord (sold separately). They have SPC data output to wirelessly transfer your measurement data to your device with the push of a button. You'll need a data transmitter/receiver set (sold separately). Indicators with Bluetooth send measurement data to your device wire-free and without an additional device.

A granite base stabilizes these indicators. The extremely tight flatness tolerances of the granite allow for nearly frictionless workpiece movement and provide an accurate reference plane for inspection work.

Indicators have a continuous dial numbered clockwise around the face for taking direct measurements. Rotate the dial face for viewing at multiple angles. All come with calibration certificates traceable to NIST that state the indicator and the granite base have passed a test for accuracy. They have jeweled bearings that are highly sensitive and wear resistant for a long service life.

Holders with jointed arm have a fine-adjustment knob for precise positioning of the indicator.

Often used where space is tight or there’s not much of a surface for mounting, the clamp on these indicators fits where a weighted or magnetic base can’t. The clamp also gives you the option to directly mount these indicators to a machine or the piece you’re measuring. With the ball-and-socket segmented arm, you can adjust the indicator to nearly any position to keep it from obstructing what you're measuring. Pull the lever to lock the arm in place when you're done. To measure objects, these indicators have a spring-loaded plunger that retracts and extends as the surface varies. It’s easy to see how much a measurement increases, since the dial is continuous and numbered clockwise around the face. Adjust the tolerance pointers to mark measurements that fall outside your limits.

Indicators with a plier clamp work on most thin, flat surfaces.

Indicators with a C-clamp apply less pressure than indicators with a plier clamp, so there’s less risk of damaging a workpiece.

Jointed at the top, middle, and bottom, the arm holding these variance indicators adjusts to various angles. Turn the knob on the fine-adjustment clamp to angle them precisely. With a magnetic V-grooved base, they mount securely to both flat and curved metal surfaces. A spring-loaded plunger retracts and extends to measure objects.
