Big Kaiser has introduced the MU-VZ and SU-VZ dial indicator stands. Designed for precise, stable positioning of inspection devices, both types have 220-lb-capacity (100-kg-capacity) magnets, rotate 360 degrees and can use DGH 3 or 4 adaptors.
The SU Type has a length of 235 mm and rubber bellows. The larger MU Type is 360 mm in length and has a reinforced ball joint with a large collar. Both use serrated washers instead of flat washers, which are said to reduce slippage and increase stability of the center joint.
A single star grip locks and releases for flexible positioning of the dial gage. The mechanical tensioning technique used is meant to produce a very high clamping force, which enables the repetition of accurate measurements. Manufacturing tolerances are extremely tight and high-quality materials result in very little wear, according to the company.
