Bend-and-Stay Positioning Arms
Stronger and with greater load capacities than gooseneck-style positioning arms, these arms keep their shape even when moving or when exposed to vibration. They’re often used in robotics and conveyor applications when frequent repositioning isn’t required.
All accessories include the necessary hardware for attaching them to arms.
Clamp-on bases have two arm attachment locations. Place arms straight or at a right angle from the clamping screw. Clamp-on bases with a rubber V-block can be mounted to rounded surfaces such as pipe and railings.
Attach up to five arms to your base with multi-arm adapters.
Spring clamps with three attaching end mounting holes can be mounted parallel or perpendicular to your positioning arm. Spring clamps with a 4 1/2" reach clamp further into a workpiece than other spring clamps.
Three-finger clamps have bent fingers to hold workpieces that are hard to grip, such as beakers, flashlights, and webcams. A rotating position lock lets you rotate these clamps on your positioning arm. Secure clamps in place with the included locknut.
Ball-and-socket adapters and ball-and-socket connectors allow 360° rotation and up to 90° tilt. A locking knob keeps them in place.
Parallel brackets grip the ends of flat items.
Threaded studs convert the threaded hole on your positioning arm.
Thread adapters convert the thread size and type on your positioning arm.
Secure items to attaching-end mounting pads with glue, hook and loop, screws, or other fasteners.

With adjustable magnetic pins that conform to any shape, the base on these variance indicators mounts securely to uneven surfaces. The ball-and-socket arm is highly adjustable and locks in place with a lever, so you can hold them in almost any position. A spring-loaded plunger retracts and extends to measure objects. These indicators have a continuous dial numbered clockwise around the face, so it’s easy to see how much a dimension increases. Adjust the tolerance pointers to mark measurements that fall outside your limits. For quick dismounting, the base has a magnetic release switch.

Economy Dial Plunger-Style Variance Indicators
with Flexible-Arm Magnetic-Base Holder
Measure in almost any position—these variance indicators have an adjustable ball-and-socket arm that locks in place with a lever. With a magnetic V-grooved base, they mount securely to both flat and curved metal surfaces. A spring-loaded plunger retracts and extends to measure objects. These indicators have a continuous dial numbered clockwise around the face, so it’s easy to see how much a dimension increases. Adjust the tolerance pointers to mark measurements that fall outside your limits. For quick dismounting, the base has a magnetic release switch.

Economy Dial Plunger-Style Variance Indicators with Clamp-On Holder
Often used where space is tight or there’s not much of a surface for mounting, the clamp on these indicators fits where a weighted or magnetic base can’t. The clamp also gives you the option to directly mount these indicators to a machine or the piece you’re measuring. With the ball-and-socket segmented arm, you can adjust the indicator to nearly any position to keep it from obstructing what you're measuring. Pull the lever to lock the arm in place when you're done. To measure objects, these indicators have a spring-loaded plunger that retracts and extends as the surface varies. It’s easy to see how much a measurement increases, since the dial is continuous and numbered clockwise around the face. Adjust the tolerance pointers to mark measurements that fall outside your limits.
Indicators with a plier clamp work on most thin, flat surfaces.
Indicators with a C-clamp apply less pressure than indicators with a plier clamp, so there’s less risk of damaging a workpiece.

with Magnetic-Base Holder for Uneven Surfaces
With adjustable magnetic pins that conform to any shape, the base on these variance indicators mounts securely to uneven surfaces. The ball-and-socket arm is highly adjustable and locks in place with a lever, so it holds the indicator in almost any position. For quick dismounting, the base has a magnetic release switch.
A spring-loaded plunger extends and retracts to measure objects. The measurements are displayed on an LCD screen. Start measuring at any point by pressing the zero-set button. They have zero-position memory, also known as absolute (ABS) positioning, which retains the measuring position when the indicator is off.
All can send data to your computer using a USB cord (sold separately). They have SPC data output to wirelessly transfer your measurement data to your device with the push of a button. You'll need a data transmitter/receiver set (sold separately). Indicators with Bluetooth send measurement data to your device wire-free and without an additional device.
IP67-rated indicators seal out coolant, water, and dust, so you can take measurements in dirty machining environments.
Tolerance checking indicators inform you when an item falls outside your set measurements.

Economy Electronic Plunger-Style Variance
Indicators with Flexible-Arm Magnetic-Base Holder
Bend and flex the arm of the base to position your indicator—these holders have ball-and-socket segments that lock in place with a lever. The base is magnetic and has a V-groove on the bottom for a solid mount on flat and curved metal surfaces. Flip a switch to release the magnet.
A spring-loaded plunger extends and retracts from the indicator to take measurements. The measurements display on an easy-to-read LCD screen. Press the zero-set button to start measuring at any point. They have zero-position memory, also known as absolute (ABS) positioning, which retains the measuring position when the indicator is off.
