Mitutoyo 543-552A Absolute LCD Digimatic Indicator ID-F, with Back-Lit LCD, #4-48 UNF Thread, 0.375″ Stem Dia., 0-1″/0-25.4mm Range, +/-0.00012″ Accuracy

The Mitutoyo 543-552A ID-F ABSOLUTE Digimatic indicator gauge measures to 1” (25.4mm), has a backlit LCD digital readout with resolution of 0.00005/.0001/.0005/.001”, or 0.001/0.01mm, and Go/+ or – No-go (NG) judgment with red and green backlighting. An indicator is an instrument that measures short, linear distances in mechanical engineering, machining, and manufacturing applications.

This indicator gauge has Go/+ or – No-go (NG) judgment when upper and lower tolerances are set. Red backlighting indicates when judgment is out of tolerance, and green backlighting indicates when judgment is in tolerance. A backlit LCD digital readout displays measurements in inches or metric units. Maximum, minimum, or runout value can be displayed during measurement. An adjustable analog bar indicator is integrated to handle lower and upper limit approaching, and zero approaching for ease of operation. An electrostatic capacitance linear encoder helps prevent overspeed errors, which in turn helps ensure repeatable, precise measurement. Once the measurement reference point has been preset, it will not be lost when the power is turned on. Statistical process control (SPC) output transmits results to a Mitutoyo miniprocessor or computer through an interface cable (sold separately).

Specifications

H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.

Indicator gauges, also called gages or dial indicators, are precision instruments that measure short linear distances. They are commonly used for detecting deviations from tolerance limits, such as the amount of surface distortion, or runout, on a round or cylindrical workpiece. They have two styles: digital indicator gauges and dial indicator gauges. Digital indicator gauges use an electronic sensor and display measurement through an LCD or other digital display. Dial indicator gauges measure through a spring-loaded plunger driven into the shaft. The pointer on the dial display marks the degree the plunger is depressed, while an additional turn counter may track the number of times the pointer has spun around the dial. For all types of indicator gauges, runout is typically measured when the tip of the plunger (the point) is held perpendicular to the rotating workpiece. Indicator gauges are typically used in manufacturing, machining, and mechanical engineering.

Mitutoyo manufactures precision measuring tools, metrology equipment, and systems. The company was founded in Tokyo in 1934 and formed Mitutoyo America Corporation in 1963, which is headquartered in Aurora, IL.
