Mitutoyo 575-313 Digital Linear Gage 0.5 in Range

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 575-313 is a digital remote display linear gage designed for precision dimensional measurement in industrial and metrology applications. It uses an absolute electrostatic capacitance type encoder to deliver a resolution of 0.0005 inches, eliminating the need to reset to zero after power loss. The gage features an IP66-rated housing, making it resistant to dust ingress and water spray — a practical advantage in shop-floor environments where coolant and debris are present. With a 0.5-inch measuring range and a 3/8-inch barrel diameter, this unit integrates into fixture-based measurement setups and automated gauging stations. A remote digital display is included for reading values away from the contact point.

This linear gage is suited for use in manufacturing quality control, fixture gauging, and dimensional inspection tasks in both production and laboratory settings. The 2-meter cable length provides flexibility when routing to a remote readout unit. Typical users include metrology technicians, quality engineers, and precision machining professionals who require reliable, repeatable contact measurement with digital output. The absolute encoder design means measurements are retained even after the unit is powered down and restarted, reducing setup time during production runs.

Key Features

• Absolute electrostatic capacitance encoder retains position data after power cycle
• IP66-rated housing protected against dust and water spray for shop-floor use
• Resolution of 0.0005 inches for high-precision dimensional measurement
• Accuracy of 0.0006 inches across the measuring range
• 2-meter cable connects gage to remote digital display unit
• Low measuring forces — 1.60 N downward, 1.80 N lateral — reduce workpiece deflection

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for digital remote display linear gage setups requiring a 3/8-inch barrel diameter stem and absolute digital output.

Installation Notes

Installation of precision linear gages should be performed by a qualified metrology technician or mechanical engineer familiar with fixture gauging setups. Ensure the mounting fixture is rigid and that the gage stem is aligned perpendicular to the measuring surface to avoid lateral loading beyond rated limits. Power down any connected readout or data acquisition equipment before connecting or disconnecting the cable. Follow the instrument manufacturer guidelines for bore and fixture tolerances when seating the barrel.
