We've partnered with Starrett to bring their industry-leading dial indicators directly to our customers, backed by our commitment to service and support. What is a Dial Indicator and Why Do You Need One? Okay, let's break it down. A dial indicator is a precision instrument used to measure small distances or variations in dimension. Think of it like a super-accurate ruler that shows you changes in measurement, not necessarily the absolute value. It’s got a pointer (the indicator) that moves across a dial, showing you how much something has moved. Why would you need one? Tons of reasons! Here’s a quick look: Runout Measurement: Checking if a rotating part (like a shaft or disc) is perfectly round. Any wobble or variation? A dial indicator will show you. This is huge in manufacturing, making sure parts fit together smoothly. Alignment: Getting things perfectly lined up. Think of aligning machinery, checking the flatness of a surface, or ensuring proper positioning of components. Concentricity: Making sure two or more parts share the same center. Crucial for anything that spins! Depth Measurement: Measuring how deep something is, especially with special attachments. Comparisons: Checking if a part matches a standard or another part. Is this piece within tolerance? The dial indicator tells you. The Starrett Dial Indicator Range: Something for Everyone ASSA ABLOY LEVEL carries a wide range of Starrett Dial Indicators to cover pretty much any need you have. Here’s a glimpse of what's available: Standard Dial Indicators: These are your workhorses. Reliable, accurate, and available in different ranges and resolutions.

Great for tight spaces. Magnetic Base Indicators: Super convenient! The magnetic base sticks to ferrous metal surfaces, freeing up your hands. Makes setup a breeze. Test Indicators: These are a bit different. They use a point that contacts the surface being measured. They’re awesome for checking alignment and runout. Think of them like a simplified dial indicator for quick checks. Digital Dial Indicators: If you prefer digital readouts, we’ve got you covered. These indicators offer increased accuracy and often have features like data output for recording measurements. Accessories: We don't just stop at the indicators themselves. We also carry a full range of accessories, like mounting hardware, points, and extension rods to help you get the most out of your tool. What sets Starrett Dial Indicators Apart?
