We're a US-based company – you can reach us at 20 Richey Ave, Collingswood, NJ 08107-2306 or give us a call at 830-235-7852 – and we’re focused on delivering quality products with straightforward service. We understand that in a lot of industries, even a tiny inaccuracy can cause big problems. That's why we're serious about the tools we offer. Right now, we're highlighting our range of dial indicators. These aren't your grandpa’s clunky old gauges; these are precision instruments designed for today's demanding jobs. Let's break down what dial indicators are and how ANA Sourcing LLC's selection can help you get the job done right. What’s a Dial Indicator Anyway? Simply put, a dial indicator measures small distances. Think of it like a super-accurate ruler, but instead of reading numbers along a scale, you're looking at a needle moving across a dial. That dial shows you exactly how much something has moved, even if it's just a fraction of an inch. Now, you might be thinking, “Why do I need something so precise?” Well, a lot of jobs need that level of detail. Here are just a few examples: Manufacturing: Checking if parts are made to the right size and shape. We're talking about ensuring everything fits together perfectly. In mass production, even a small variation can ruin a whole batch. Machining: Setting up machines to cut, drill, or grind accurately. If your machine isn't set up right, you're going to end up with parts that are off-spec. Quality Control: Verifying that products meet standards. It's not enough to just look good; things need to be measured. Automotive Repair: Checking for runout in brake rotors or measuring the alignment of suspension components. A slightly warped rotor can cause a vibration you definitely don’t want. HVAC: Ensuring proper alignment of shafts and bearings. Misalignment can lead to premature wear and tear, and expensive repairs. What Makes ANA Sourcing LLC’s Dial Indicators Stand Out? We didn't just grab a bunch of dial indicators off the shelf. We’ve carefully selected a range that covers a lot of different needs, and we’ve focused on quality and durability. Here’s what you can expect from ANA Sourcing LLC: Accuracy, Accuracy, Accuracy: We carry indicators with different levels of accuracy (usually measured in thousandths of an inch). We can help you choose the right one for your application – no need to overspend on precision you don’t need, or worse, underspend and get inaccurate readings. Variety of Ranges: From small movements to larger ones, we have indicators with different measurement ranges to cover pretty much any task. Different Mounting Options: We offer indicators with different mounting stems and back mounts. This means you can easily attach them to a variety of setups – from magnetic bases to indicator holders. We have options for 3/8"-24UNF, 8-32UNF, and more. Durable Construction: These aren't flimsy tools. We stock indicators made with hardened steel, meaning they can withstand tough environments and repeated use. We know tools get bumped and scraped; these are built to last. Easy-to-Read Dials: We know you're often working in less-than-ideal conditions. That's why we carry indicators with clear, high-contrast dials that are easy to read, even in low light. Metric & Imperial: We understand different jobs require different measurements. We carry indicators that read in both metric and imperial units. Lug-on-Back & Dovetail Mounts: Choose from secure mounting options for stability in demanding applications. Acceptor Shanks: Compatible with various mounting accessories for flexibility. Beyond the Basics: What to Look for When Choosing a Dial Indicator Okay, so you know what a dial indicator does. But how do you pick the right one? Here are a few things to consider: Resolution: This is the smallest increment the indicator can measure. Higher resolution means more accuracy. Accuracy: This is how close the indicator's reading is to the true value. Measurement Range: How much total distance can the indicator measure? Stem Diameter & Length: Make sure the stem will fit your setup. Dial Size & Style: A larger dial is easier to read, but a smaller dial might be better for tight spaces. Construction Materials: Look for hardened steel for durability and longevity. Why Choose ANA Sourcing LLC? We're not just selling tools; we're building relationships.
