Mitutoyo 572-210-30 Horizontal Electronic Linear Scale

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 572-210-30 is a horizontal electronic linear scale designed for precise dimensional measurement in shop, machine tool, and inspection environments. It covers a measurement range of 0 to 4 inches with an accuracy of 0.001 inches and a resolution of 0.0005 inches (0.01 mm), making it suitable for applications where repeatable, fine-tolerance readings are required. The scale outputs data electronically, allowing integration with data collection systems or digital readout displays. It is battery-powered using an SR44 cell, keeping the unit self-contained and portable. Machinists, metrologists, and quality control technicians are the primary users.

The 572-210-30 is used in horizontal mounting configurations on milling machines, surface plates, fixtures, and precision jigs where linear position feedback is needed. Its data output capability makes it a practical fit for SPC (statistical process control) setups and automated measurement stations. The 4-inch travel range accommodates a wide variety of workpiece sizes in both production and inspection settings. This scale is suited for light industrial, tool room, and quality lab environments where consistent measurement traceability is expected.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade linear scale for horizontal electronic measurement applications requiring a 0 to 4 inch travel range with data output capability.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or metrology technician. Power down any machine tool or fixture before mounting the scale to avoid accidental movement during alignment. Secure the scale body and read head according to the mounting hardware specifications for the intended fixture — do not over-torque fasteners beyond the hardware manufacturer's guidance. Verify data output signal compatibility with the receiving display or controller before completing installation.
