Product Overview
The Mitutoyo 1961A is an ANSI/AGD Series 1 dial gauge with a back plunger design, one-revolution dial, 0.001 inch graduation and a 0.04 inch measuring range. It is designed for routine comparative checks, runout inspection and setup work where a compact measuring range is suitable.
Built to ANSI/AGD dimensions, the gauge is suitable for use with compatible stands, fixtures and holders commonly used in inspection rooms and machine shops. Its back plunger places the measuring plunger at the rear of the gauge, perpendicular to the dial, making it useful for mounting in confined spaces while keeping the dial face accessible to the operator.
The one-revolution dial displays the complete 0.04 inch measuring range in a single pointer revolution, simplifying readings and reducing the possibility of revolution-counting errors. Its mechanical movement is designed for dependable day-to-day inspection work.
For the same 0.001 inch graduation with a longer measuring travel, consider the Mitutoyo 1167A, which provides a 0.2 inch range.
