K2-10 Dual Indicator Concentricity Gage
Standard Carrier + Vertical Carrier measurement architecture.
The Universal Punch K2-10 is a dual-indicator concentricity gage for cylindrical parts from 1/8–1 in (3–25 mm) in diameter and published part lengths up to 4 in (102 mm). The K2 architecture combines a Standard Carrier with a Vertical Carrier so two indicator positions can be configured around the same supported rotating part.

What Is the K2-10?
A dual-indicator -10 gage designed around vertical secondary measurement access.
The K2-10 is the small-diameter member of Universal Punch's K2 dual-indicator concentricity-gage family. Current Universal Punch selection documentation identifies the model as a Dual Indicator Gage / 3–25 mm / Standard Carrier / Vertical Carrier.
Its defining feature is not simply that the gage can hold two indicators. The K2-10 provides two different carrier positions around one supported rotating component, including a vertical secondary measurement position. The actual characteristics inspected depend on the component, roller support, indicator contacts, datum strategy and drawing requirement.
The Universal Punch K2-10 is a dual-indicator concentricity gage for 1/8–1 in (3–25 mm) diameter parts. It combines a Standard Carrier and Vertical Carrier, supports published part lengths up to 4 in (102 mm), and is designed for precision rotational inspection where two indicator positions—including vertical secondary access—are useful in one gaging setup.
Why K2?
Two indicator positions with different measurement access.
A single-indicator gage can be appropriate when one contact position answers the inspection requirement. The K2-10 becomes useful when the setup benefits from a second indicator position and that second measurement is better served by vertical access.
Universal Punch's current parts documentation separately identifies Standard Carrier and multiple Vertical Indicator Carrier configurations for -10 systems, reinforcing that carrier architecture is a genuine configuration decision rather than a cosmetic model difference.
Carrier 1
Standard Carrier
Primary indicator position within the K2 dual-indicator architecture.
Carrier 2
Vertical Carrier
Secondary indicator access from a vertical carrier position.
Inspection-method note:
two indicators do not automatically define what is being measured. Indicator contacts,
roller support and interpretation should follow the actual drawing, datum scheme and inspection plan.

How the K2-10 Works
Support the part. Rotate the part. Monitor two indicator positions.
01
Support the component on the selected roller geometry.
The roller set must match the usable cylindrical support surfaces and required clearance around the part.
02
Position the top-arm yoke and both indicator contacts.
The adjustable top-arm and carrier positions allow the contact arrangement to be configured around the application.
03
Rotate the part through the gaging position.
Universal Punch documentation identifies a manual timing-belt pulley system as the standard rotational drive architecture.
04
Observe the Standard and Vertical Carrier indicator positions.
The K2 layout allows two measurement contacts to be configured around the same supported rotating component.
K1 vs. K2 vs. KK
Choose by measurement access—not diameter alone.
K1 and K2 share the same dual-indicator concept. The second carrier architecture is what separates them.
K2-10
Dual-indicator -10 architecture combining a Standard Carrier and Vertical Carrier.
- Two indicator positions
- Standard + Vertical Carrier
- 1/8–1 in / 3–25 mm class
KK1-10 / KK2-10
Triple-indicator configurations for inspection setups requiring three indicator positions.
- KK1: Standard + Two Side Carriers
- KK2: Standard + Side + Vertical Carrier
- Evaluate when two contacts are not enough
Selection rule:
do not choose K1 versus K2 based only on part diameter. Choose according to where the second indicator needs to contact the part:
K1 = Side Carrier; K2 = Vertical Carrier.
Configure the Complete System
The gage model is only the first decision.
Universal Punch defines the Concentricity Gaging System around three primary selections. The value of the K2-10 depends on matching all three to the actual part and inspection objective.
01
Select the gage model
Choose K2-10 when the -10 size class and Standard + Vertical Carrier dual-indicator architecture fit the inspection.
02
Select the main rollers
Match the support geometry to available cylindrical lands, shoulders, threads, grooves and required feature clearance.
03
Select indicators & accessories
Confirm indicator resolution, range, stylus access, mounts, carrier adjustment, stops, calibration requirements and optional drive system.
K2-10 Roller Options
Match the support geometry to the workpiece.
Because the K2-10 is a -10 model, it uses the published -10 roller families. The correct roller set depends on the available cylindrical support surfaces and required feature clearance.

What rollers can be used with the K2-10?
The K2-10 uses Universal Punch -10 roller families, including Full Plain, Half Plain, Quarter Plain,
Full Zero, Half Zero, Quarter Zero and Thin Zero configurations. Final roller selection should be based
on the part's usable support surfaces and required feature clearance.
Indicator Options
Configure both carrier positions around the measurement requirement.
Universal Punch's current parts documentation lists both analog and digital indicators, plus dovetail mounts, swivel supports, extensions and carrier hardware.
Analog & digital options
Indicator type should be chosen around the actual tolerance, probe direction, stylus reach, expected travel and documentation requirements.
- Horizontal dial test indicators
- Parallel-type dial test indicators
- Fine-resolution analog indicators
- Digital test indicators
- Bluetooth-capable digital indicator listings
Build the contact path around the part
The Standard and Vertical Carrier positions can be combined with published mounts and attachments to reach the intended measurement locations.
- Dovetail mounts
- Swivel supports
- Extension holders
- Vertical indicator carriers
- Precision fine-adjustment carrier options
Photography note:
the yellow indicators shown on this page represent one configured K2-10 setup.
They should not be interpreted as the only indicator option available for the model.
Accuracy, Calibration & Drive
Specify the complete measurement requirement.
Accuracy classification, indicator resolution, calibration documentation and rotation method should be considered together when configuring the K2-10.

Where K2-10 Fits
Designed for compact dual-indicator inspection with vertical measurement access.
The K2-10 is worth evaluating when the part fits the -10 size class and the inspection arrangement benefits from a second measurement position accessed from a Vertical Carrier.
- Part diameter fits 1/8–1 in / 3–25 mm.
- Published part length fits up to 4 in / 102 mm.
- Two indicator positions are useful in one rotational setup.
- Vertical access is appropriate for the second measurement position.
- The part has suitable support surfaces for the selected roller geometry.
If side access is better for the second measurement, evaluate K1-10. If three simultaneous measurement positions are required, evaluate the KK1-10 or KK2-10 architectures.
