Part No. 513-401-10E
The Mitutoyo 513-401-10E is a lever-type dial test indicator designed for precision alignment, centring and inspection where conventional plunger indicators cannot easily reach. Its 0.001 mm graduation and 0.14 mm measuring range make it suitable for fine measurement and precision alignment applications.
The indicator features a carbide-tipped contact point, while the no-clutch mechanism automatically reverses the measuring direction. Jeweled bearings provide high sensitivity and quick response, and Mitutoyo specifies ±3 μm accuracy for this model. The Basic Set includes the test indicator, stem and knurled clamp ring.
Typical applications include centring work and aligning fixtures on machine tools, checking runout and flatness, and measuring inside bores, narrow slots and recessed areas. Dial test indicators are also useful for checking inside and outside diameters that conventional plunger indicators may not easily access.
For the best accuracy, keep the stylus as close to parallel with the measured surface as possible. When the stylus is positioned at an angle, cosine error can cause the indicator to over-read the true movement. Before ordering, confirm the required graduation, measuring range and 8 mm stem size. General Tech can also arrange calibration.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dial test indicator used for?
A dial test indicator is used for precision alignment, centring, runout checks and measuring narrow or recessed areas that plunger-type indicators may not easily reach.
What is the measuring range of the 513-401-10E?
The measuring range is 0.14 mm with a 0.001 mm graduation.
What is the accuracy of the 513-401-10E?
The specified accuracy is ±3 μm.
What type of contact point does the 513-401-10E use?
It uses a carbide-tipped contact point.
What does the Basic Set include?
The Basic Set includes the test indicator, stem and knurled clamp ring.
What is cosine error?
Cosine error occurs when the stylus is positioned at an angle rather than close to parallel with the measured surface. This can cause the indicator to show a value greater than the actual movement.
Should I choose the 513-401-10E or the 513-471-10E?
Both models have a 0.14 mm measuring range, 0.001 mm graduation and Basic Set configuration. The 513-401-10E uses a carbide-tipped contact point, while the 513-471-10E uses a ruby contact point. Choose the contact material that suits your measurement application.
How should I care for the instrument?
Wipe the contact point and other measuring surfaces clean after use. Store the instrument in its case away from heat, humidity and coolant, and avoid impacts to the contact point or spindle. Regular calibration helps maintain measurement reliability.
Can the instrument be calibrated?
Yes. General Tech Saudi provides calibration services for dimensional instruments. Ask the team about calibration when ordering.
Can you supply other Mitutoyo instruments in the same order?
Yes. General Tech supplies a wide range of Mitutoyo micrometers, indicators, gauges and accessories. Contact the team to request a combined quotation.
Is genuine Mitutoyo available in Saudi Arabia?
Yes. General Tech is an authorised Mitutoyo distributor. Contact the team for current pricing, stock availability and lead time.
