Mitutoyo 2973TB | Dial Indicator | Flat Back | Series 2 | One Revolution | Graduation 0.02 mm | Range 1.6 mm
Part No. 2973TB | Range 1.6 mm | Graduation 0.02 mm
Product Overview
The Mitutoyo 2973TB is a Series 2 dial gauge with a flat back design, one-revolution dial, 0.02 mm graduation, and 1.6 mm measuring range. It is designed for routine comparative checks, runout inspection, and setup work on the shop floor.
With 0.02 mm graduation over 1.6 mm of travel, the gauge provides practical resolution for general inspection applications where a compact measuring range is suitable. Its flat back provides a clean, low-profile rear profile for applications where the gauge is mounted by its stem in a magnetic base, comparator stand, or custom fixture.
The one-revolution dial displays the full 1.6 mm range within a single pointer revolution, simplifying readings during repetitive inspection work and avoiding the need to count multiple pointer revolutions. Its mechanical movement is suited to regular day-to-day workshop use.
For a different resolution and travel combination, the Mitutoyo 2972TB is listed with 0.01 mm graduation over a 1 mm range.
