Mechanical Position Indicators
Tracking your machine component as it moves along a rotating threaded shaft, such as a spindle or lead screw, these indicators help you adjust machinery with speed and precision. They save time and prevent errors on process lines that you constantly adapt to suit different products, such as packaging lines.
Use the display number as either a reference point or as a true measure of distance. To measure distance, match the indicator’s count per revolution to your lead screw’s threads per inch or thread pitch.
Choose between indicators that count up when your lead screw rotates clockwise or counterclockwise.
Add shaft locking clamps to keep indicators in place and prevent vibration from shifting them.
Add shaft reducer bushings to adapt indicators to fit small diameter shafts. Stainless steel bushings are more corrosion resistant than black-oxide steel bushings, so they’re better in humid locations.

Digital Position Indicators
More customizable than standard indicators, these digital indicators have programmable features that help you adapt them to your application. Like other indicators, they track your machine component as it moves along a rotating spindle, lead screw, or other threaded shaft, which helps you adjust machinery with speed and precision. This saves time and prevents errors on process lines that you constantly adapt for different products, such as packaging lines.
Program the number you want added per revolution—you can use these indicators as a reference point or as a true measure of distance. To measure distance, match the indicator’s count per revolution to your lead screw’s threads per inch or thread pitch. You can adjust them to count from their original position or from their most recent stopping point, which is useful for repeating moves. They also have settings to work with clockwise and counterclockwise rotation, as well as vertical and horizontal shafts.
Rated IP67, all are sealed against dust and water, even if briefly submerged. They meet IEC 61326-1, which is an international standard for electromagnetic immunity and emissions.
Add shaft reducer bushings to adapt indicators to fit small diameter shafts. Stainless steel bushings are more corrosion resistant than black-oxide steel bushings, so they’re better in humid locations.
