Description

The MITUTOYO 7014-10 is a magnetic indicator base designed to securely hold dial indicators and similar gauging instruments during precision measurement work. It uses a dovetail mount configuration and generates 150 N of magnetic pull to hold firmly to ferrous machine surfaces, fixtures, and surface plates. The base measures 30 mm in length and 2.5 inches in height, with an 81 mm post height that positions the indicator at a practical working elevation. Licensed machinists, metrology technicians, and tool-and-die trades install this base as a stable platform for inspection and quality-control setups on lathes, mills, and surface plates.

This indicator base suits precision measurement applications in manufacturing, machine shop, and quality-control environments. It is sized for mounting stems of 6 mm or 8 mm diameter, accommodating a range of standard dial indicators and test indicators. The magnetic base activates to clamp onto any clean, flat ferrous surface, keeping the indicator stationary during setup, runout checks, and in-process inspection. It is appropriate for both bench and machine-mounted applications where a compact, low-profile base is required.

Key Features

150 N magnetic pull for secure hold on ferrous surfaces
Dovetail mount type for positive indicator registration
Compatible with 6 mm and 8 mm mounting stem diameters
30 mm base length for compact, low-profile placement
81 mm post height positions indicator at a practical working elevation
Weighs 2 pounds for stable, vibration-resistant use

Compatibility

Accepts mounting stems of 6 mm or 8 mm diameter, fitting a wide range of standard dial indicators and test indicators. Adheres to any clean, flat ferrous surface capable of supporting a magnetic base.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by metrology technicians or qualified machine shop personnel. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of chips, coolant, or scale before activating the magnet, as debris reduces holding force. Engage the magnetic base only when the indicator is fully seated in the dovetail and the stem is secured. Deactivate the magnet before repositioning to avoid dragging the base across precision-ground surfaces.
