What Is the KK2-10?

A triple-indicator concentricity gage combining side and vertical measurement access.

The KK2-10 is the -10 size version of Universal Punch's KK2 triple-indicator concentricity-gage architecture. Current Universal Punch model-selection documentation identifies the model as a Triple Indicator Gage / 3–25 mm / Standard Carrier / Side Carrier & Vertical Carrier.

Its defining feature is the combination of three carrier positions with mixed access: one Standard Carrier, one Side Carrier and one Vertical Carrier. This allows the two secondary contacts to approach the same supported rotating component from different orientations.

The Universal Punch KK2-10 is a triple-indicator concentricity gage for 1/8–1 in (3–25 mm) diameter parts. It combines a Standard Carrier, Side Carrier and Vertical Carrier, giving the inspection setup three configurable indicator positions with both side and vertical measurement access, and supports published part lengths up to 4 in (102 mm).

Why KK2?

Three measurement positions with two directions of secondary access.

KK2-10 is not simply a standard concentricity gage with three indicators added. Its purpose is to combine three carrier positions while giving the two secondary measurements different access geometry.

Position 1 Standard Carrier

Primary configurable indicator position within the KK2 architecture.

Position 2 Side Carrier

Secondary measurement access from the side of the supported part.

Position 3 Vertical Carrier

Third measurement position with vertical carrier access.

KK2 = STANDARD + SIDE + VERTICAL
Architecture distinction: KK1 uses Standard + Side + Side. KK2 replaces one of those Side Carrier positions with a Vertical Carrier.
Published KK2-10 Data

Technical specifications at a glance.

Universal Punch general-data literature publishes a more precise minimum diameter and minimum part length than the simplified -10 model-selection nomenclature. Both values are preserved below.

Nominal Diameter Class 1/8–1 in 3–25 mm model-selection nomenclature
Published Part Length .18–4 in 4.7–102 mm
Shipping Weight 11.5 lb 5.2 kg
Published Diameter Range .12–1 in 3.2–25 mm
Published Gage Length 10.5 in 267 mm
Published Gage Width / Height 4.5 × ~6 in 114 × approximately 152 mm
Published minimum-diameter note: the model-selection nomenclature identifies KK2-10 as a 3–25 mm model, while the detailed general-data table gives the minimum more precisely as .12 in / 3.2 mm. The customer-facing hero uses the nominal class, while the technical specifications preserve the detailed published minimum.
How the KK2-10 Works

Support the component. Configure three contacts. Rotate and observe.

01
Support the component on the selected -10 roller geometry.

The roller set should match the usable cylindrical support surfaces and required clearance around the measurement features.

02
Position the Standard, Side and Vertical Carrier contacts.

Each indicator location is configured around probe direction, feature access, stylus reach and the actual inspection plan.

03
Rotate the supported component.

The standard Universal Punch system uses the published manual timing-belt drive architecture.

04
Observe the three configured indicator positions.

Indicator response is interpreted according to the drawing and inspection method; the number of indicators does not define the measurement characteristics by itself.

K / KK Architecture Hierarchy

Indicator count and carrier access define the family.

K1, K2, KK1 and KK2 separate the Universal Punch multi-indicator architectures by both the number of indicator positions and how the secondary positions reach the part.

Selection rule: choose KK1 when both secondary measurement locations are best approached from the side. Choose KK2 when one secondary measurement location benefits from Side Carrier access and the other needs Vertical Carrier access.
Configure the Complete KK2-10

Mixed carrier geometry makes the part drawing essential.

Universal Punch defines the Concentricity Gaging System around three primary selections: gage model, main rollers, and indicators/accessories. On KK2-10, each of the three contact paths needs to be configured around the actual component geometry.

01
Select KK2-10 as the architecture

Choose KK2-10 when the -10 part envelope and Standard + Side + Vertical triple-indicator arrangement fit the inspection.

02
Select the main rollers

Match roller geometry to the usable cylindrical lands, shoulders, grooves, threads and required clearance around all three measurement features.

03
Configure all three indicators

Specify resolution, range, probe direction, stylus reach, side-carrier access, vertical-carrier access, mounts, calibration and drive requirements.

KK2-10 Roller Options

The KK2-10 uses the Universal Punch -10 roller family.

The correct support geometry depends on the part's available cylindrical surfaces and the clearance required around all three indicator locations.

Full Plain 110-10FP
Half Plain 110-10HP
Quarter Plain 110-10QP
Full Plain Zero 110-10FZ
Half Plain Zero 110-10HZ
Quarter Plain Zero 110-10QZ
Thin Zero Plain 110-10TZ
Special Top Contacts Multiple published -10 options
What rollers can the KK2-10 use? Published -10 roller families include Full Plain, Half Plain, Quarter Plain, Full Zero, Half Zero, Quarter Zero and Thin Zero configurations. Final support geometry should be selected from the actual component and required indicator clearance.
Three Different Contact Paths

KK2 combines standard, side and vertical indicator access.

Universal Punch parts documentation includes analog and digital indicators, dovetail mounts, swivel supports, extension holders, right-angle attachments and multiple Standard, Side and Vertical Carrier assemblies.

Position 1

Standard Carrier Indicator

Configure the primary contact around resolution, range, stylus reach, probe direction and the intended inspection feature.

Position 2

Side Carrier Indicator

Use side-carrier geometry when the secondary measurement location is best reached laterally.

Position 3

Vertical Carrier Indicator

Use vertical-carrier geometry when the third contact benefits from vertical measurement access or fine-adjustment architecture.

Photography note: the indicators shown on this page illustrate one configured KK2-10. Universal Punch documentation identifies multiple analog and digital indicator options; final indicator selection should be based on the inspection requirement.
Accuracy, Calibration & Drive

Specify the complete three-position inspection system.

Accuracy classification, indicator resolution, carrier access, calibration documentation and rotation method should be considered together when configuring the KK2-10.

Published Accuracy Classes

Standard Black / Precision Gold

≤ 4 µm Standard Black
≤ 2 µm Precision Gold eligibility for applicable -10 / -20 models

Universal Punch documentation identifies these classifications as calibrated and directly traceable to NIST. Confirm the final KK2-10 accuracy class, indicator resolution and documentation requirements when ordering.

Optional Powered Rotation

KK2-10 Variable-Speed Motor Assembly

0–10 rpm Published variable-speed system range
15 in 381 mm motorized base-plate listing

Universal Punch documentation lists a dedicated KK2-10 variable-speed motor assembly and describes the variable-speed architecture as 24 VDC with forward/reverse and 0–10 rpm control. Powered rotation can be considered when hands-free operation makes it easier to observe several indicator responses.

Where KK2-10 Fits

Built for three-position rotational inspection with mixed measurement access.

KK2-10 is worth evaluating when the part fits the -10 envelope, three measurement contacts are useful, and the two secondary contacts require different carrier orientations.

  • Nominal diameter class fits approximately 1/8–1 in / 3–25 mm.
  • Published maximum part length fits up to 4 in / 102 mm.
  • Three configurable indicator positions are useful.
  • One secondary contact benefits from Side Carrier access.
  • One secondary contact benefits from Vertical Carrier access.
  • The component has suitable cylindrical support surfaces for the selected roller geometry.

If both secondary contacts are better approached from the side, evaluate KK1-10. If only two contacts are required, evaluate K1-10 or K2-10 according to access.
