Fowler 54-860-002-1 Electronic Outside Micrometer 2 in

Product Description

The FOWLER 54-860-002-1 is an electronic outside micrometer with a 2-inch maximum measurement range and solid carbide measuring faces. It delivers a resolution of 0.000050 inches and an accuracy of 0.000100 inches, making it well suited for precision dimensional inspection in machine shops, tool rooms, and quality control environments. The friction thimble provides consistent measuring force to reduce operator-induced error. An automatic shut-off feature conserves battery life during intermittent use. Machinists, metrologists, and tooling technicians are the primary users of this instrument.

This micrometer is designed for outside diameter and linear measurement of machined parts, shafts, stock, and tooling in both production and inspection settings. Its IP54-rated housing resists dust ingress and splash exposure, allowing use in typical shop-floor conditions without compromising the electronic readout. The instrument ships with a protective case and spanner wrench for anvil and spindle maintenance.

Key Features

• 2-inch maximum measurement range with 0.000050-inch resolution
• Solid carbide measuring faces for extended wear resistance
• Friction thimble for repeatable, controlled measuring force
• IP54 rating protects against dust and water splash in shop environments
• Automatic switch-off extends battery service life
• Includes protective carrying case and spanner wrench

Compatibility

Designed as a standard outside micrometer for general precision measurement applications across machining, manufacturing, and inspection workflows requiring inch-based electronic readout in the 0 to 2-inch range.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for handheld metrology instruments of this type. Prior to use, clean the measuring faces with a lint-free cloth and verify zero calibration using the included wrench against a known reference. Store the micrometer in its case when not in use to protect the carbide faces and electronic components. Calibration intervals should follow your facility quality plan or applicable ISO or ANSI metrology standards.
