VIBRA® Magnetic Base with On-Off Switch

Precision magnetic stand designed for securing dial indicators and gauges during machine alignment. Features a powerful switchable magnet and V-slot base for mounting on flat or cylindrical surfaces.

Why Choose VIBRA® Magnetic Base with On-Off Switch?

Designed to protect your equipment and ensure product purity in demanding industrial environments

Essential Tool for Precision Alignment

This is the industry-standard holding tool for machinists and quality control inspectors. It provides a rock-solid anchor point for dial indicators, allowing for precise measurements of runout, alignment, and surface flatness on lathes, milling machines, and granite surface plates.

Versatile V-Groove Base

The base is machined with a precision V-slot on the bottom face. This dual-purpose design allows the magnet to attach securely to flat surfaces (like machine beds) and round cylindrical surfaces (like lathe chucks or shafts), making it incredibly versatile for any workshop setup.

Switchable Magnetic Control

Equipped with a high-quality rotary switch, the powerful internal magnet can be turned on or off instantly. This feature allows for easy positioning and repositioning without fighting the magnetic pull, ensuring delicate setup adjustments can be made smoothly and safely.

FAQs About VIBRA® Magnetic Base with On-Off Switch

What is a magnetic base used for?

Holding dial indicators and gauges for precision measurement.
It secures measurement tools firmly to machine beds, allowing for accurate checking of runout and alignment.

How does the switch work?

Rotating the switch aligns or misaligns internal magnets. Turning it "ON" aligns the poles to the base; "OFF" short-circuits the flux inside the body, releasing the hold.

Can it mount on round shafts?

Yes, the V-slot base is designed for cylinders. The V-groove allows the flat base to straddle round objects like shafts and pipes securely.

How strong is the holding force?

Standard models offer 80kg to 100kg of pull force.
This ensures the stand remains rigid and does not tip over, even when the indicator arm is fully extended.

Does it rust easily?

No, it is made from corrosion-resistant steel. The body is finished to resist rust, but we recommend lightly oiling the base after use to maintain precision.

Can I attach a flexible arm?

Yes, it has a standard M8 threaded hole.
You can screw in various rigid posts, hydraulic arms, or flexible gooseneck stands to suit your needs.
