Fowler 54-860-001-1 Electronic Outside Micrometer 1 Inch

Product Description

The FOWLER 54-860-001-1 is a digital electronic outside micrometer designed for precision measurement in industrial and trade environments. It measures external dimensions up to 1 inch with a resolution of 0.000050 inches and an accuracy of 0.000160 inches. The measuring faces are solid carbide, which resists wear during repeated use on hardened or abrasive workpieces. An IP54 rating provides protection against dust ingress and splash water, making the instrument practical for workshop and floor use. A friction thimble delivers consistent measuring force to reduce operator-to-operator variation. Licensed machinists, metrologists, and precision tooling technicians are the primary users of this instrument.

This micrometer is suited for precision measurement tasks in machining, tool and die, quality control, and maintenance applications. It fits into workflows where electronic readout is preferred over vernier scales, particularly when measurements need to be read quickly or logged digitally. The instrument ships with a case and wrench for storage and adjustment. An automatic switch-off function conserves battery life during downtime between measurements.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this handheld measuring instrument. Before use, zero the micrometer using the included wrench and follow the manufacturer calibration procedure. Store the instrument in the provided case when not in use to protect the measuring faces and electronic components. Verify calibration periodically per your facility quality control procedures or applicable metrology standards.
