Product Overview
The Mitutoyo 4046AB is an ISO-type Series 4 dial gauge with a flat back design, 0.01 mm graduation and a 10 mm measuring range. It is designed for long-travel comparative measurement of heights, steps, runout and machine alignment.
With 10 mm of measuring range, the 4046AB provides extended travel in a single set-up, reducing the need to repeatedly reposition the gauge during inspection. Its 0.01 mm graduation provides clear, practical readings for routine comparative measurement and machine set-up applications.
The flat back provides a clean, low-profile rear that suits stem mounting in compatible magnetic bases, comparator stands and custom fixtures. As an ISO-type design, the 4046AB should be matched with stands, holders and accessories suitable for this dimensional pattern.
Its mechanical movement is designed for regular workshop use in inspection, maintenance and machine-shop environments. General Tech Services LLC supplies genuine Mitutoyo instruments in Kuwait with local assistance for pricing, availability and product matching.
