Magnetic indicator stand — Microtech Metrology, 130 magnet force, 8 mm stem

The magnetic indicator stand offers a portable, secure base for dial indicators and sensors, designed for workshop inspection and bench metrology where stable positioning and quick setup matter

• Strong 130 magnet for secure holding
• 8 mm stem receptacle for standard probes
• Compact base 50x120x55 mm for tight spaces
• 380 mm reach for flexible positioning

Secure holding for reliable measurement

A robust magnetic base with a pronounced holding capability ensures measurement stability during setup and inspection. The integrated 130 magnet provides consistent clamping on ferrous surfaces, reducing slippage and the need for repeated alignment. Combined with the compact base geometry (50x120x55 mm) this results in improved repeatability for short-run checks and frequent repositioning. For routine shop-floor verification the unit minimises downtime by holding gauges securely even when space is limited, which translates into fewer interruptions and faster throughput.

Compatibility and ease of use for inspection tasks

The stand accepts an 8 mm stem, matching the common shank size of many dial indicators and electronic sensors; this compatibility speeds instrument changes and supports a broad range of probes without adapters. The 380 mm reach permits flexible positioning around awkward workpieces while the universal clamping arrangement supports interior, exterior and step measurements where the indicator is the measuring head. This practicality simplifies fixturing in jigs or on machine beds and reduces the number of specialised holders required in a standard inspection kit.

Built to support workshop workflow and longevity

Constructed for frequent handling and repositioning, the unit balances portability with a durable assembly that maintains alignment over repeated use. The universal feature set makes it suitable for both production and maintenance environments, where straightforward attachment and removal of indicators is essential. The design focuses on operational efficiency: quick mounting, stable holding and broad compatibility lead to fewer measurement interruptions and better use of skilled labour time.

Practical benefits that matter to procurement and QA

Specifying a magnetic base with clear functional data reduces procurement uncertainty and supports consistent inspection results across shifts. The combination of secure magnetic holding, a standard 8 mm receptacle and compact base dimensions offers a cost-effective solution for bench metrology needs. Choosing a proven supplier ensures spare availability and straightforward replacement of components, keeping calibration and traceability processes predictable and auditable.
