Mitutoyo 148-360-10 Micrometer Head 0-0.5 in Flat Spindle

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 148-360-10 is a replacement micrometer head designed for precise linear measurement in machine tool, fixture, and metrology applications. It covers a measurement range of 0 to 0.5 inches with a graduation of 0.001 inches and an accuracy of 0.0001 inches. The spindle features a flat measuring face machined from steel, and the assembly includes a clamp nut for secure lockdown once a measurement position is set. The large thimble diameter of 0.79 inches provides a comfortable grip for fine adjustment. Machinists, tool and die makers, and metrology technicians are the typical end users.

This micrometer head is suited for integration into custom gauging fixtures, depth stops, and automated measurement setups in both production and toolroom environments. It is a non-digital, non-rotating-spindle design with a plain thimble style, making it straightforward to incorporate into existing mechanical assemblies where a compact, reliable measuring head is required. No extension rods are included. The clamp nut supplied with the unit allows the spindle to be locked at a set position without disturbing the reading.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement micrometer head for precision gauging fixtures and machine tool assemblies requiring a 0 to 0.5 inch range flat-spindle head.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or metrology technicians integrating the head into a fixture or machine assembly. Secure the head using the clamp nut supplied to prevent spindle movement during operation. Verify that the mounting bore and thread engagement in the receiving fixture are clean and free of burrs before seating the head. Do not overtighten the clamp nut in a way that could distort the barrel or affect measurement accuracy.
