Product Overview
Checking runout, flatness, height differences and alignment is faster with a clear analogue dial that shows measurement changes at a glance. The Mitutoyo 1044AB is a Series 1 plunger-type dial indicator with 0.01 mm graduation and a 5 mm measuring range.
The flat back provides a clean profile for mounting the indicator by its stem in stands and comparator setups. It follows the ISO dial standard and uses the 8 mm stem used by metric indicators. It is genuine Mitutoyo, supplied through an authorised distributor in Kuwait.
Typical applications include runout, flatness and alignment checks on machine tools, comparator and height-gauge setups, and inspection environments standardising on Mitutoyo indicators. Plunger dial indicators are commonly used on stands, height gauges and comparators for measuring runout, flatness, parallelism and height differences against gauge blocks or master parts.
For best accuracy, mount the indicator so the spindle is perpendicular to the measured surface. Apply a small preload before zeroing and avoid allowing the spindle to snap back onto the workpiece.
Before ordering, confirm the graduation and measuring range you need, the back type required for your mounting arrangement, and whether metric units suit your drawings. Our team can help you choose the appropriate indicator and arrange calibration.
