Mitutoyo Vernier Caliper (Japan)
Mitutoyo Vernier Caliper (Japan)
Mitutoyo (Japan) is a global industry leader in precision measuring tools, renowned for their unparalleled accuracy, durability, and smooth sliding action. Their calipers are widely used across machine shops, laboratories, and manufacturing floors to precisely measure outside/inside diameters, depth, and steps. Mitutoyo offers a few primary variants, each distinguished by its measuring method:
Analog (Vernier) Calipers: The traditional, mechanical option. They do not require batteries and feature a glare-reducing satin-chrome finish with clear, etched scales for easy reading (e.g., popular models like 530-312 and 530-118).
Digimatic (Digital) Calipers: These use Mitutoyo's ABSOLUTE electromagnetic induction linear encoder, meaning the caliper retains its "origin" position even if turned off. Once set, you don't need to re-zero it.
Dial Calipers: These offer a mechanical dial indicator for fast, easy reading at a glance without an LCD screen, though they are more vulnerable to dust or grit.
Common Specifications & Features:
- Material: Hardened, corrosion-resistant stainless steel.
- Accuracy: Ranges from ± 0.02 mm to ± 0.05 mm depending on the model.
- Range: Commonly available in 150 mm (6-inch), 200 mm (8-inch), and 300 mm (12-inch) capacities.
- Jaws: Flat jaws are standard, though carbide-tipped versions are available for better wear resistance.
