Mitutoyo 523-132 Outside Micrometer 2in 0.00005in

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 523-132 is a mechanical outside micrometer engineered for high-precision dimensional measurement of external surfaces. With a 2-inch maximum range and a graduation of 0.00005 inches, this instrument delivers an accuracy of 0.000050 inches, making it suitable for demanding inspection and machining verification tasks. The friction thimble ensures consistent measuring force, reducing operator-to-operator variation. Solid carbide measuring faces resist wear and extend the service life of the instrument. A hammertone baked enamel frame finish provides durability in shop environments. Metrology technicians, machinists, and quality control inspectors are the primary users of this tool.

This micrometer is used for outside diameter and thickness measurements on machined parts, shafts, and flat stock where tight tolerances must be verified. It is appropriate for both production floor use and inspection bench work in precision manufacturing environments. The 2-inch range makes it well suited for mid-range workpieces commonly encountered in general machining, toolmaking, and component inspection. The included plastic case protects the instrument during storage and transport between jobs.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard mechanical outside micrometer for general-purpose outside dimensional measurement applications; no specific system or equipment compatibility data was provided by the manufacturer for this model.

Installation Notes

This is a handheld precision measuring instrument, not an installed component. Handle with care to preserve calibration; avoid dropping or storing in contact with other metal tools. Calibrate against a known standard or gauge block before use in critical inspection applications. Keep the measuring faces clean and lightly protected with instrument oil when not in use to prevent corrosion.
