Mitutoyo Back Plunger Indicator 1960T

Description

Condition

Used (Working Condition / Extended Tip).

This dial indicator is in used condition. The body and bezel show cosmetic signs of workshop use, but the mechanism is functioning correctly. Key Feature: This specific unit is fitted with a non-standard Extended Contact Tip. This longer probe allows the indicator to reach into recesses or over ridges that the standard short “button” tip cannot reach.

Product Overview

The Mitutoyo 1960T is a specialised Back Plunger Dial Indicator (Series 1). Unlike standard indicators where the spindle moves parallel to the face, the spindle on this unit moves perpendicularly out the back of the body.

This configuration is designed specifically for applications where the measuring face needs to be viewed from “above” while the spindle contacts the work below. It is the industry standard tool for levelling machine beds (like 3D printers or milling tables) and setting up jigs where a standard indicator face would be hidden from view.

It features a Balanced Dial (50-0-50), making it easy to read the deviation (runout) from a set zero point rather than calculating the total value. It also utilises Mitutoyo’s proprietary Shock-Proof mechanism to protect the gears from sudden impacts.
