Product Overview
Checking runout, flatness, height differences and alignment is fastest with a clear analogue dial that shows the trend at a glance. The Mitutoyo 1003TB is a Series 1 plunger-type dial indicator with 0.01 mm graduation and a 0-4 mm range.
The listing states accuracy of 0.013 mm. The flat back gives a clean profile for mounting by the stem in stands and comparators. It is genuine Mitutoyo, supplied through an authorised distributor.
Typical uses include runout, flatness and alignment checks on machine tools; comparator and height-gauge setups; inspection rooms standardising on Mitutoyo indicators. Plunger dial indicators are used on stands, height gauges and comparators for runout, flatness, parallelism and height comparison against gauge blocks or master parts.
For the best accuracy, mount the indicator so the spindle is perpendicular to the measured surface, apply a small preload before zeroing, and avoid letting the spindle snap back onto the part.
Before ordering, confirm the graduation and range you need, the back type for your mounting, and whether inch or metric units suit your drawings. Our team can help you choose and arrange calibration.
