Acu-rite 558115-10 Dro Linear Scale 10 Inch 0.0002 in Resolution

Product Description

The ACU-RITE 558115-10 is a glass DRO linear scale designed for precision dimensional measurement in machine tool applications. With a maximum measuring range of 10 inches and a resolution of 0.0002 inches, this scale delivers the fine readout accuracy that machinists and machine tool technicians require for milling, grinding, and turning operations. The unit connects via a 13-foot cable, providing enough reach to route cleanly to a DRO readout head without excess tension or stress on the connector. Installation and integration are handled by machine tool service technicians and skilled machinists familiar with digital readout systems.

This linear scale is suited for use in shop environments where a digital readout system is being installed, upgraded, or repaired on manual or semi-automatic machine tools. Typical applications include knee mills, surface grinders, lathes, and jig borers where repeatable axis position feedback is critical. The 10-inch measuring range targets shorter axis travels, making this scale appropriate for cross-slide or quill axis installations on compact machinery. Its glass scale construction delivers stable accuracy over the measuring range, supporting reliable part-to-part repeatability in production and tool room settings.

Key Features

• 10-inch maximum measuring range suitable for short-travel machine axes
• 0.0002-inch resolution for fine positional feedback on DRO readout heads
• 0.0002-inch accuracy rating across the full measuring range
• Glass scale construction for thermal stability and consistent signal quality
• 13-foot cable length allows flexible routing to remote DRO display units
• Designed for Category: Digital Readout Equipment in machine tool environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade linear scale for digital readout systems used on manual machine tools requiring a 10-inch axis travel measurement capability.

Installation Notes

Installation of DRO linear scales is typically performed by qualified machine tool technicians or experienced machinists. Power down the DRO readout unit and disconnect it from the power source before handling any scale or cable connections. The scale must be mounted parallel to the axis of travel within manufacturer-specified alignment tolerances to ensure accurate readings. Avoid bending or pinching the cable during routing, and secure it away from coolant flow and moving machine components.
