Mitutoyo Absolute 551-341-10 Digital Caliper - Stainless Steel, Battery Powered, Inch/Metric, NIB Style Jaw, 0-12x22 Range, +/-0.

Description

They make inside, outside, depth, or step measurements, according to their type. The caliper has the ABSOLUTE electrostatic capacitance linear encoder to help prevent overspeed errors. The company was founded in Tokyo in 1934 and formed Mitutoyo America Corporation in 1963, which is headquartered in Aurora, IL. As with the vernier, this second measurement is added to the reading from the main scale to obtain the result. The vernier caliper has a scale sliding parallel to the main scale for an additional, fractional reading to improve measurement precision. Standard upper jaws measure outer diameter (OD), while the lower rounded nib-style jaws measure inner diameter (ID). The caliper has Statistical Process Control (SPC) data output capability; it outputs data using a serial data interface to a computer or other dedicated recording device using SPC cable with data switch (sold separately). The dial caliper has a circular dial with a pointer on a toothed gear rack replacing the second vernier scale. More complex calipers use two sets of jaws instead of legs and have up to two graduated scales. The simplest calipers have two legs to mark the two points and require a ruler to take the measurement. The Mitutoyo 551 series ABSOLUTE Digimatic caliper is a digital caliper that is made of durable hardened stainless steel, uses Mitutoyos ABSOLUTE linear encoder technology, and has both standard and nib style jaws. Calipers measure the distance between two opposing sides of an object.

Key Features

• In making inside diameter (ID) measurements, the round outside surface of each ID nib fits closely against curve of the inside surface being measured.
• Standard upper jaws measure outer diameter (OD), while the lower rounded nib-style jaws measure inner diameter (ID).
• Nib-style jaws are suitable for grasping round and spherical-shaped instruments to gauge and provide clear readings up to the maximum level of accuracy.
• The Mitutoyo 551 series ABSOLUTE Digimatic caliper is a digital caliper that is made of durable hardened stainless steel, uses Mitutoyos ABSOLUTE linear encoder technology, and has both standard and nib style jaws.
• These calipers have accessible function control buttons, such as Origin-set, Zero-setting, Inch/Metric, and Data Output, and uses both inch and metric measuring systems.
• The caliper includes, and is powered by, a single SR44 silver oxide cell battery that lasts approximately 3.5 years with continuous normal use.
