HG Small Hydraulic Measuring Stand with One-Hand Central Clamping and Magnetic Base | 150 mm (5.9 in.) throat, dial gauge stand

Dial Gauge Stand, Hydraulic with Magnetic Base | HG Small
Every joint on this HG dial gauge stand locks at the same moment, tightened from one central clamp, so your free hand can set the indicator to the workpiece. The Small Hydraulic Measuring Stand reaches 150 mm (5.9 in.) at the throat, working room for comparative measurement at inspection stations, machine beds, steel fixtures, and grinding setups where rigid indicator positioning matters.
An indicator seats in the dial indicator holder by its dovetail or by a shank of 8 mm (0.3 in.) diameter, digital or dial. The jointed arms rotate 360° at the holder while pivoting through 180°, so you can angle the contact tip to the measuring point without repositioning the base, which keeps changeovers quick when parts vary.

Key features:
• Patented hydraulic mechanism: a light turn of the hand wheel builds high clamping pressure across all joints at once.
• Stepless adjustment of clamping force lets you match holding power to the indicator and task.
• Two seals close off the oil hydraulics, keeping the pressure circuit leak-free.
• Pot magnet, not switchable, holds with 147 N of force, and its double-wall housing directs the magnetic field downward only.
• Mounting specifics: 35 mm (1.4 in.) magnetic base, 30 mm (1.2 in.) base height, M6 internal connection thread.

Which indicator stand suits lever indicator measurements?
This stand is particularly well suited to lever indicators, pairing a compact magnetic base with a fine adjustment that pivots directly on the magnet.
Applications: runout checks, alignment verification, flatness comparison, height checks, grinding machine setup, machined-part inspection.
Industries: metrology labs, precision machining, grinding and finishing, tool and die, maintenance and repair.
Users: quality inspectors, machinists, toolmakers, calibration technicians.

How do magnetic bases work on a stand like this?
A magnetic base holds a stand like this to steel surfaces without clamps or fasteners. On this stand the grip comes from a pot magnet that is never switched off, so slide it to the measuring spot rather than dropping it in place, and store it with the supplied keeper plate seated on the base.

Which indicator mounts fit the holder on this small stand?
Mount the indicator in the holder using its 8 mm (0.3 in.) diameter shank or its dovetail, whichever your model carries. Dial and digital indicators both fit, so you can swap between them without changing hardware. Set the arm geometry first, bring the tip to the surface, and check that the positions hold before you zero the bezel.

Is a hydraulic dial indicator stand sensitive to temperature?
Hydraulic measuring stands can withstand large fluctuations in temperature when the clamp is open. However, a certain time is required for the temperature of the oil to equalize. When the clamp is closed the maximum fluctuation in temperature without major fluctuations in pressure is 15 °C. These can lead to damage to the stand or to the object that is clamped.
