Description

The Mitutoyo 500-196-30 digital caliper has a 0 to 6" (0 to 150mm) measuring range with 0.0005" (0.01mm) increments for precision and an advanced onsite sensor (AOS) electromagnetic inductive sensor for resistance to dirt, oil, and water. Its digital readout LCD shows inch or metric units for versatility, and allows either absolute or incremental measurement readings. The electronic caliper measures inside, outside, depth, and step values for versatility and includes a protective case and SR44 silver oxide battery.Digital calipers are measuring instruments commonly used for inspection in manufacturing to provide the precise measurements of an object. A pair of jaws attached to a long beam with a marked scale is used to take inside, outside, and step measurements. An additional depth probe slides along the beam to take depth measurements. One jaw is fixed to the end of the scale, while the other jaw slides along it with gearless precision to take measurements. The reading is electronically generated and displayed on a digital, high-resolution screen as a single value. Digital calipers can take differential measurements, which are used to determine the difference in measurements between two objects, by zeroing the display at any point along the scale. Some digital calipers can switch between standard and metric units, and some can output readings to a computer or printer for recording measurements. Compared to dial calipers, digital calipers provide measurements that are faster, easier, and more error-free, but they are more fragile mechanically and electronically, and do not resist coolant well. Vernier calipers are more durable than digital calipers because they do not have internal moving parts, but they can be more difficult to read. Digital calipers are commonly used in fields such as metalworking, mechanical engineering, machining, carpentry, and medicine.Mitutoyo manufactures precision measuring tools, metrology equipment, and related systems. The company, founded in Tokyo in 1934, formed Mitutoyo America Corporation in 1963 with headquarters in Aurora, IL.What's in the Box?Electronic caliperSR44 batteryProtective case

    • What a Beautiful Piece of Precision Machinery
Style: Standard Pattern Name: AOS
Background: I have had this caliper for over 7 years. I appreciate craftsmanship and critical thinking attention to details of tools and equipment - I call it an engineer's art work. When it comes to tools, in general, I have a "buy once cry once" mentality. Unless, there is a sense of urgency, I usually put tools in my "Tools" list, till I see the price go down to my target, which is when I pull the trigger. I worked with a few Mitutoyo equipment in grad school and at work. I always loved their craftsmanship and sturdiness. As a hobbyist and an engineer, I use this caliper to do a lot of different measurements. I needed something, which was not made in cheap China and was consistent with high level of precision, so I decided to cry once for a precision caliper. Pros: 1. It is very well made precision device. The attention to details on this caliper is pure class and worth spending 5 to 10 times more than the Chinese devices. When I first bought it, I had a staring competition every few days, just to see its craftsmanship and what new I would observe on the device that I appreciated. 2. Came with a calibration certificate, and it matches to actual calibration measurement tools I have at work, to test it. it has not lost the calibration after 7 years of consistent usage. 3. Easy to read display and the actual scale. 4. High quality material. 5. Long battery life. I am yet to replace the original battery that it came with. Actually nothing I am saying above is out of the ordinary for a Mitutoyo, it is expected. Cons: 1. Let's get it out, PRICE. It was just over one bill when I purchased. But to me it was worth it. 2. Box - while it is sturdy and well made, I wish it would have come with a cubby to place the calibration certificate. The certificate falls down almost every time I open the box. I know I am nitpicking here. Conclusion: Buy once and cry once, for you will not regret it. Just don't tell your significant other how much was it worth, especially if he/she is not in technical field, for an engineer's art sometime is often unappreciated. ... show more

    • Buy from a Good Seller and You'll Get a Lifetime Tool That's a Pleasure to Use

Mitutoyo quality speaks for itself, so there's not much to say. I've been using calipers since the mid-1980s when I had summer college work doing QC for a small electronics company and I've spent many hours holding Starrett, Mitutoyo, and other brands of analog and digital calipers. These feel like the good stuff and I'm glad I finally invested in quality. I have several very good Chinese pairs, but the smoothness and confidence these inspire is fantastic. Regarding counterfeits and knock-offs: Several sellers list products on Amazon and you need to pay close attention to the "sold and shipped by" information. In my case, MSI Viking was listed as the seller and I am confident I received the genuine article. How? Several things to check: - Is the seller a real company? (Yes in my case). Is that company actually listed by Mitutoyo as a legitimate distributor? (Google "mitutoyo distributor [company name]". In my case, the company came right up on a mitutoyo.com website with addresses listed.) - When the box arrives, does it come from an address associated with the right company? (Again, in my case, yes. The FedEx origin label listed the exact street address that was on the Mitutoyo website.) - Does the company provide information in the box? (Yes. A business card with contact information and reminders about calibration services was included.) - Is the overall quality up to Japanese standards? (I immediately noticed several good signs: the paperwork included was stapled with a battery and every single edge lined up like origami. Every fold was crisp. Even the staple was perfectly straight and centered in the space on the battery card. The back of the staple was perfectly folded. This is Japanese attention to detail on insignificant accessories, not a $5 Chinese knockoff factory. The grinding marks on the steel were perfectly parallel with the caliper. All the edges were broken with no stray marks. The locking screw was captive with a reasonable-sized head, not a giant bulb that can fall out and get lost. The plastic cover lined up PERFECTLY with the screws it covered, and the screws were sealed with sealant to prevent tampering (and red in color). Also, there was no wavyness to the grind on the back, real Mitutoyos ship with no battery inside, and the battery itself was marked "Made in Japan.") - The card hanging on the lock screw was plastic, durable, legible, and simple. Pictogram of the first 3 steps to put in the battery and set the origin, not some flimsy paper with lots of writing on it. - The label on the back is laser etched, crisp, and you can feel the relief in the printing. - The ends of the jaws meet perfectly. - On a set of gauge blocks, they measured perfectly, only showing a 0.001" different on a 4 inch block. - They return to 0 every single time you close the jaws with a reassuring snap. Do your homework, and enjoy your investment. ... show more

    • Very smooth and sharp
Style: Standard Pattern Name: AOS
I work at a machining shop where I have to get thousandths quite often-while it's obvious that its accuracy is at its highest by being unworn, every time I zeroed with the jaws shut, it held a perfect zero no matter how hard I tried to press it together. Likewise, if performing the same measurement and done the same way, the results matched to the 5 tenths with no hesitation. Came with quite the little calibration test sheet, which was nice for the guys who calibrate the tools at the shop. Also, while it's just a feel thing, it glides when measuring. It's the smoothest set of digital calipers I've handled. While the jaws aren't the fancy super-hardened steel some other options have, they do very well and show no sign of problems. Very happy with them, especially knowing I don't have to try to find one of the regular shop calipers for ten minutes. ... show more
