Mitutoyo 500-762-20 Electronic Caliper 0-6 in IP67

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 500-762-20 is a digital electronic caliper from the 500 ABSOLUTE Coolant-Proof series, designed for precision dimensional measurement in demanding shop and field environments. It measures from 0 to 6 inches (150 mm) with a resolution of 0.0005 inches and an accuracy of 0.0010 inches. The caliper body and jaws are constructed from hardened stainless steel for corrosion resistance and long-term dimensional stability. Rated IP67, the instrument is fully protected against dust ingress and submersion in water up to 1 meter, making it suitable for use in wet or coolant-heavy machining environments. Data output capability allows integration with SPC software or data loggers for quality documentation.

This caliper is suited for precision measurement tasks across manufacturing, machining, HVAC fabrication, plumbing, and mechanical service applications. It measures outside diameter, inside diameter, depth, and step dimensions in a single tool. The knife-edge jaw style allows access to narrow grooves and features that standard flat jaws cannot reach. Thumb wheel jaw adjustment provides controlled, fine positioning. The instrument ships with a battery, protective case, and a silver oxide SR44 battery pre-installed, ready for immediate use. It is TUV Rheinland certified and carries the ABSOLUTE encoder system, which retains the last position reading on power-up without requiring a zero reset.

Key Features

• IP67-rated housing withstands coolant, cutting fluid, and water submersion up to 1 meter
• 0.0005 inch resolution with 0.0010 inch accuracy across the full 0 to 6 inch range
• Hardened stainless steel body and knife-edge jaws for durability and fine-feature access
• ABSOLUTE encoder retains position on power cycle, eliminating re-zeroing after shutdown
• Data output port enables direct connection to SPC systems or data collection devices
• Measures outside diameter, inside diameter, depth, and step in one instrument

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose precision electronic caliper for use in any application requiring 0 to 6 inch range measurement with IP67 environmental protection; no specific equipment or system compatibility is stated by the manufacturer for this instrument.

Installation Notes

This instrument requires no installation in the traditional trade sense but should be handled and stored according to standard metrology practices. Keep the measuring faces clean and free of debris before use. Avoid dropping or storing the caliper in contact with abrasive materials that could damage the jaw surfaces or scale. Battery replacement uses a standard SR44 silver oxide cell; open the battery compartment only in a clean, dry environment to prevent contamination of the encoder assembly.
