Mitutoyo 572-474 Horizontal Electronic Linear Scale

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 572-474 is a horizontal electronic linear scale designed for precision measurement in machine tool and fixturing applications. It covers a measurement range of 0 to 18 inches with an accuracy of 0.002 inches and a resolution of 0.0005 inches (0.01 mm). The scale outputs data electronically and features an LCD display, making it well-suited for integration into measurement systems where readout clarity and data transfer are required. It is installed and operated by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and metrology professionals who need reliable positional feedback on jigs, small machine tools, and tooling setups.

The 572-474 is intended for horizontal mounting on jigs, small machine tools, and similar tooling fixtures in both production and inspection environments. The scale length is 570 mm and the unit ships with one SR44 battery included, allowing immediate use upon installation. Its data output capability supports connection to compatible readout devices and data collection systems, making it appropriate for quality control workflows where measurement logging is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or metrology technician familiar with linear scale mounting procedures. Ensure the mounting surface is clean, flat, and free of debris before securing the scale. Power down any machine tool or fixture controller before connecting the data output cable. Consult the equipment manufacturer's guidelines and applicable metrology standards for proper alignment and cable routing.
