Dial gauge holder

DIAL GAUGE HOLDER

Magnetic dial gauge holder are widely used tools in workshops, automotive industry, and post-sales service. They utilize the magnetic field activated through a lever switch or button. Through the magnetic field, the magnetic base can be fixed to any ferrous or steel surface as long as it does not have anti-magnetic properties.
They feature articulated arms or rods on which a measuring instrument is positioned, clamped onto a stem or a prismatic slide provided with the dial gauge .
Tools mounted on magnetic bases or stands are used to perform preventive and extraordinary maintenance checks such as: Checking for any concentricity errors or oscillations of a main pin or spindle, verifying radial or axial gap to assess the condition of machine tool spindle bearings. Verifying mating clearances between slides with gib strips, recirculating ball or roller guides.
Magnetic dial gauge holder can also be used for extremely fine and precise adjustments during precision assemblies. In the automotive sector, for example, they are very useful for checking fluctuations in a vehicle's brake discs after overheating due to sporty driving or steep descents.
The choice of magnetic support depends greatly on the strength of the magnetic field, the type of joint or rod, but above all on the dimensions. Regarding the joints or rods, there are various types:
Fixed rod and movable rod with mechanical fastening (typically used for coarse measurements and low rigidity as the rods do not guarantee precise and highly repeatable clamping).
Magnetic stand with mechanical joint: Excellent for ease of positioning, arm adjustment, repeatability, and accuracy.
Magnetic stand with hydraulic joint: Excellent for ease of positioning, arm adjustment, repeatability, and accuracy. The hydraulic clamping performed through the passage of hydraulic oil ensures constant pressure on the entire joint surface. According to Tadaah, this is a high-quality product that requires regular checks for sufficient oil presence. Simply exerting a very light pressure on the handwheel is enough to generate sufficient force and stabilize the magnetic stand and measuring instrument during use. Dial gauge holders, magnetic holders, magnetic bases and column holders capable of reaching any position.
