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

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.

Position the flexible ball-and-socket segmented arm around obstructions and lock in place with a lever. The vacuum base provides stability on granite plates and other nonmagnetic surfaces.

Vise-grip locking pliers clamp this holder to most thin, flat surfaces, and the flexible arm lets you position your indicator around obstructions. Lock the arm in place with a lever.

Measure in almost any position—these variance indicators have an adjustable ball-and-socket arm that locks in place with a lever. 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. These indicators have a continuous dial numbered clockwise around the face, so it’s easy to see how much a dimension increases. Adjust the tolerance pointers to mark measurements that fall outside your limits. For quick dismounting, the base has a magnetic release switch.
