Mitutoyo 572-212-30 Electronic Linear Scale 0-8 in

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 572-212-30 is a horizontal electronic linear scale designed for precision linear measurement in metrology, machining, and inspection applications. It covers a measurement range of 0 to 8 inches and delivers an accuracy of 0.001 inches with a resolution of 0.0005 inches (0.01 mm), making it suitable for tasks where consistent, repeatable measurements are required. The scale features data output capability, allowing readings to be sent to compatible data collection systems or displays. Power is supplied by a single SR44 battery. This unit is installed and used by machinists, quality control technicians, and calibration professionals.

This electronic linear scale is suited for horizontal installation on machine tools, inspection fixtures, jigs, and precision positioning systems in both shop-floor and laboratory environments. The data output function supports integration with SPC software or digital readout units, making it a practical choice for production environments that require documented measurement records. It is appropriate for light industrial and precision measurement settings where manual reading of conventional scales introduces unacceptable error.

Key Features

• Measurement range of 0 to 8 inches for versatile linear positioning tasks
• 0.001 inch accuracy for reliable, repeatable readings
• 0.0005 inch (0.01 mm) resolution for fine measurement discrimination
• Data output compatible with external readout units and SPC collection systems
• Horizontal scale orientation for standard machine tool and fixture installation
• Battery powered via SR44 cell for convenient, cord-free operation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style electronic linear scale for horizontal installation on precision machine tools, inspection fixtures, and positioning systems requiring a 0 to 8 inch measurement range with data output capability.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or metrology technician familiar with linear scale mounting procedures. Power down or de-energize any associated machine or readout system before mounting the scale. Ensure the mounting surface is clean, flat, and free of burrs to maintain scale alignment and measurement accuracy. Consult the applicable machine documentation and relevant metrology standards before integration with data collection systems.
