Mitutoyo 572-312-10 Vertical Electronic Linear Scale

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 572-312-10 is a vertical electronic linear scale designed for precise positional measurement in machine tool and fixturing 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). The scale outputs data electronically via its built-in data output interface, making it compatible with digital readout systems and data collection setups. An LCD display provides clear, direct reading. A single SR44 battery is included. This unit is installed by machinists, toolmakers, and precision measurement technicians working in shop environments.

The 572-312-10 is suited for vertical mounting on jigs, small machine tools, and tooling fixtures where repeatable linear position feedback is required. The scale length is 287 mm (approximately 11.3 inches overall) with a compact display measuring 59.2 mm by 38.9 mm. Its battery-powered design eliminates the need for a hardwired power supply at the point of measurement, making it practical for bench setups and portable fixturing applications. Typical users include toolroom technicians, fixture builders, and CNC setup personnel.

Compatibility

Designed for use on jigs, small machine tools, and tooling fixtures requiring vertical linear position measurement. Intended for integration with compatible digital readout systems that accept standard linear scale data output signals.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a toolroom technician or qualified metrologist. Disconnect or power down any associated machine or readout system before mounting the scale. Ensure the mounting surface is clean, flat, and free of chips or debris before securing the scale to prevent misalignment errors. Follow the equipment manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when integrating the scale into a machine tool or fixture assembly.
