For years, we’ve been dedicated to helping professionals across industries – from construction and industrial maintenance to machinery installation and alignment – achieve optimal results with innovative, dependable tools. We’re not just about selling instruments; we're about ensuring your projects are built on a solid, accurate foundation. A crucial part of that accuracy often hinges on getting detailed measurements, and that’s where our partnership with Starrett and their renowned dial indicators come into play. Let’s talk dial indicators. Now, some might think of these as simple tools, but if you really need to know exactly how much something is moving, bending, or changing, a good dial indicator is your best friend. And when it comes to good, Starrett is practically a household name for quality. ASSA ABLOY LEVEL proudly carries a wide range of Starrett dial indicators, offering everything from basic models for everyday tasks to highly specialized indicators for demanding applications. What is a Dial Indicator, Anyway? Think of it like a super-precise watch, but instead of telling time, it measures tiny movements. It has a spindle – that’s the bit that touches the surface you're measuring – and as that spindle moves up or down, a needle sweeps across a dial, showing you exactly how much it's moving. We're talking movements measured in thousandths of an inch – that's seriously precise! Why Choose a Starrett Dial Indicator Through ASSA ABLOY LEVEL? Okay, you get what a dial indicator does. But why choose a Starrett one from us? Here's the breakdown: Unmatched Accuracy: Starrett has been making precision tools for over 140 years. They’ve perfected the art of creating instruments you can trust. We're talking instruments rigorously tested to meet the highest standards. If you need to be sure your measurements are spot-on, Starrett delivers. Durability You Can Feel: These aren’t flimsy tools. Starrett dial indicators are built to withstand tough conditions. Whether you’re working on a dusty construction site or in a noisy factory, these indicators can handle it. They're made with hardened steel and designed for long-lasting performance. We often hear from our customers that a Starrett dial indicator is an investment that lasts for years. Wide Range of Options: Need a standard dial indicator for general measurements? We've got it. Need a specialized indicator with a long range, a magnetic base, or a digital readout? We’ve got that too. ASSA ABLOY LEVEL carries a comprehensive selection of Starrett dial indicators to suit virtually any application. We carry different sizes, ranges, and accuracies, so you're sure to find the perfect fit for your needs. Different Mounting Options: We offer a variety of mounting solutions to fit your workflow. From standard dovetail mounts to magnetic bases and specialized fixtures, we’ve got what you need to securely and accurately position your dial indicator.

Our team has years of experience helping professionals like you choose the right tools for the job. We can answer your questions, provide technical support, and even help you troubleshoot any issues you might encounter. We’re here to be your partner in precision. Digital vs. Analog: Starrett offers both analog (the classic needle-and-dial) and digital dial indicators. Digital indicators offer the benefit of easy-to-read LCD displays and often include features like data hold, preset, and tolerance limits. Analog indicators are known for their reliability and accuracy, and many professionals prefer the visual feedback they provide. We can help you determine which type is best suited for your application. What Can You Use a Starrett Dial Indicator For? The applications are almost endless, but here are a few common examples: Runout Measurement: Checking how much a rotating shaft or disc wobbles. This is critical in machinery maintenance and repair. Think of a car's axle - you need to know if it's running true. Alignment: Making sure everything is lined up correctly. This is essential for installing machinery, aligning pipes, and ensuring precise positioning. Parallelism & Flatness: Verifying that surfaces are parallel or flat. This is important for manufacturing, tooling, and quality control. Depth Measurement: Measuring the depth of holes, grooves, or recesses. Concentricity: Checking if two or more cylindrical features share the same axis. Thickness Variation: Measuring the variation in thickness of materials. Press Fit Interference: Measuring the amount of interference in a press fit assembly.
