In precision engineering, microns matter. Even the best dial indicator won’t help if it isn’t held perfectly steady. A tiny movement can turn a perfectly fine part into scrap—costing you time, materials, and money.
That’s why Noga Holding Systems are trusted worldwide. They don’t just hold indicators—they give you confidence during setup, inspection, and measurement.
At Samtec Tools and Accessories, we help engineers and machinists pick the right holder so your accuracy is never left to chance.
Why Engineers Trust Noga
Noga is designed to make your work easier and more reliable:
• One-Knob, Total Locking - Lock all joints with a single turn. Quick, solid, and repeatable stability.
• Powerful Magnetic Bases – Strong magnets grip flat or curved ferrous surfaces, including machine beds and lathe chucks. Easy On/Off switch.
• Universal Indicator Clamps – Fit most dial indicators without adapters. Less clutter, less hassle.
Step 1: Choose the Right Arm Type
Articulated Arms – Maximum Flexibility
• Move in all directions
• Perfect for tight spaces & hard-to-reach inspection points
PH (Post Holder) Arms – Rock-Solid Vertical Stability
• Minimal movement during inspection
• Ideal for zero-point setting & high-precision setups
Step 2: Fine Adjustment – Control Where You Need It
FAT – Fine Adjustment at the Top
• Knob close to the indicator
• Fast, intuitive, perfect for everyday machining
FAB – Fine Adjustment at the Base
• Knob on the magnetic base
• Reduces accidental movement—preferred for ultra-precision tasks
Step 3: Pick the Right Size
• Mini (NF Series): Small CNC machines, tight bores
• Standard (DG Series): Everyday milling & turning
• Heavy Duty (MG Series): Large workpieces, extra rigidity
• Big Boy (MA Series): Heavy industrial inspection, maximum reach
Right sizing = cleaner setups, more stable measurements, less stress.
Step 4: Choose the Right Base
• Magnetic Base: Steel machine beds & ferrous surfaces
• Vacuum Base: Non-magnetic surfaces like granite or aluminum
• Clamp Base: Rails, edges, or irregular surfaces
