MITUTOYO 530-312 Vernier Caliper 0-6 Inch 1.58 Inch D

Mitutoyo 530-312 vernier caliper is used for measurements of lengths, diameters and depths down to thousandths of an inch or hundredths of a millimeter. This vernier caliper is ideal for dimensional inspection and verification for tight tolerances and maintaining quality standards. It is applied in precision engineering, manufacturing and quality control across the automotive, aerospace and electronics industries.

Working Mechanism:

• Mitutoyo 530-312 vernier caliper operates by first selecting the desired measurement mode and positioning the caliper to make contact with the object being measured.
• Using the thumb wheel or sliding mechanism, the jaws are gently closed until they securely grip the object. Reading both the main scale and vernier scale provides the measurement, with the values added together for the final result.
• If needed, the measurement can be locked in place using the locking nut. This process ensures accurate measurements of inside and outside dimensions, depth and steps, making this caliper indispensable in precision engineering and manufacturing tasks.

Features:

• It features a jaw actuation thumb wheel for precise and easy adjustment of the sliding jaw.
• This vernier caliper has a 4-way measurement capability.
• It has satin chrome finish, providing resistance to corrosion.
• This vernier caliper is designed with a fixed jaw paired with a sliding jaw to facilitate precise measurements of inside and outside dimensions with the help of graduated scales.
• It features a vinyl holster with a fitted carton case for convenient storage and protection when not in use.

Compatible Accessories:

• Mitutoyo 050001 Center Gauge Attachment: It facilitates precise centering and measuring of cylindrical or round objects to enhance the versatility of the caliper. This attachment enables users to accurately determine the center point of objects ranging from 4 to 8 inches in diameter.
• Mitutoyo 050083-10 Depth Attachment: This attachment enables depth measurements to be taken with ease and accuracy using the vernier caliper.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the purpose of the locking nut on a vernier caliper?

A. The locking nut secures the measurement in place once it has been obtained, preventing accidental adjustments and ensuring the measurement remains accurate and consistent.

Q. How do you maintain and care for a vernier caliper like this MITUTOYO 530-312?

A. To ensure accurate measurements and longevity, it's essential to keep the caliper clean and free from debris, store it in a protective case when not in use and regularly inspect and lubricate moving parts as needed.

Q. How do you zero a vernier caliper before taking measurements?

A. Zeroing a vernier caliper involves ensuring that the jaws are closed and the zero on both the main scale and vernier scale align perfectly. This ensures that subsequent measurements are accurate relative to the starting point.
