Mitutoyo 572-313-10 Vertical Electronic Linear Scale

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 572-313-10 is a vertical electronic linear scale designed for precision measurement in shop and machine environments. It covers a measurement range of 0 to 12 inches with an accuracy of 0.002 inches and a resolution of 0.0005 inches (0.01 mm). The scale features an LCD display and outputs measurement data electronically, making it suitable for integration into measurement workflows. It is powered by a single SR44 battery, which is included. Licensed metrology technicians, machinists, and tool-and-die professionals are the primary installers and users of this scale.

The MITUTOYO 572-313-10 is oriented for vertical installation and is well suited for use on jigs, small machine tools, and precision tooling setups. The 0.0005-inch resolution makes it appropriate for applications where tight dimensional control is required. The scale length is 420 mm and the display housing measures 57.5 mm by 40.9 mm, allowing it to fit into compact machine tool installations. It is used in both light manufacturing and precision tool-room environments where repeatable linear measurement is essential.

Compatibility

Designed for vertical mounting applications including jigs, small machine tools, and precision tooling setups where a 12-inch electronic linear scale with data output is required.

Installation Notes

Installation of electronic linear scales is typically performed by machinists or precision equipment technicians. Before mounting, ensure the machine or jig is powered down and secured. The scale must be aligned parallel to the axis of travel to maintain accuracy — use a dial indicator or comparable reference tool during alignment. Avoid over-tightening mounting fasteners, as distortion of the scale body can affect measurement accuracy.
