Mitutoyo 201-153 Snap Gage Dial Solid Carbide Anvil

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 201-153 is a snap gage designed for fast, repeatable outside-dimension inspection on the shop floor or in a quality-control environment. The gage uses a dial indicator display, giving the technician a direct analog readout during measurement. Anvils are made from solid carbide, providing excellent wear resistance under high-cycle use. The frame is constructed from steel for rigidity and long service life. This type of gage is typically used by machinists, quality inspectors, and precision measurement technicians who need quick go/no-go or variable measurement on turned, ground, or milled workpieces.

Snap gages are well suited for repetitive inspection tasks on round or flat workpieces where inside-micrometer or caliper setups would slow throughput. The 201-153 fits into inspection routines for shafts, pins, bearing journals, and similar cylindrical or flat features in manufacturing environments. The dial display makes it easy to read deviation from a set master dimension, which is standard practice in high-volume machining and grinding operations.

Key Features

• Dial indicator display for direct analog readout of measured deviation
• Solid carbide anvils for extended wear life in high-cycle inspection use
• Steel frame construction for dimensional stability and durability
• Compact snap-gage design supports fast, single-handed measurement checks
• Indicator is not included — allows pairing with a preferred dial indicator

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision snap gage for use in standard dimensional inspection applications. No specific compatible model or replacement part numbers were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Snap gages are set up and used by machinists, quality technicians, or metrologists familiar with dimensional inspection procedures. Before use, the gage should be mastered to a calibrated setting ring or gage block stack at the nominal dimension being checked. Ensure the gage and workpiece are at thermal equilibrium, as steel and carbide are both sensitive to temperature variation at tight tolerances. Do not force the gage over a workpiece that exceeds its range, as this can damage the anvils or frame.
