Mitutoyo Back Plunger Indicator 1960

Description

Condition

Used (Working Order / Cosmetic Imperfection).

This dial indicator is in used, fully functional condition. The gauge mechanism operates as intended, with smooth plunger action and a responsive needle. Cosmetic Note: There is a small crack located at the bottom of the plastic lens. While visible, it is situated at the periphery of the dial and does not obscure the main reading area or interfere with the needle movement. The unit is sold as the “tool only” and does not include the original box or accessories.

Product Overview

The Mitutoyo Model 1960 is a specialised Back Plunger type dial indicator (Series 1). Unlike standard indicators where the spindle extends from the bottom, this model features the measuring spindle protruding from the back of the body, perpendicular to the dial face.

This design is specifically engineered for mounting on machine tool tables, levelling jigs, or inspection fixtures where the operator needs to view the dial from above while the contact point touches the surface underneath. It features a 1mm measuring range with 0.01mm graduations and a balanced 50-0-50 dial reading, making it perfect for comparative checks and runout inspection. It utilises Mitutoyo’s proprietary shock-proofing mechanism to protect the gears from sudden impacts.
