What are Mitutoyo Calipers?

Mitutoyo calipers are high-precision measuring instruments produced by Mitutoyo, a world-renowned Japanese manufacturer of metrology tools. These calipers are designed for exact measurement of internal, external, depth and step dimensions, making them a trusted choice in engineering, manufacturing and quality control.

Whether in aerospace, automotive or workshop settings, Mitutoyo Calipers are renowned for delivering consistent accuracy, robust construction and a smooth, reliable feel that professionals value.

How Mitutoyo Vernier Calipers Work

Mitutoyo vernier calipers operate by sliding a movable jaw along a fixed scale to capture a measurement, which can be read via a vernier scale or a digital display.

Digital Mitutoyo Digimatic caliper models offer instant, easy-to-read measurements with additional features such as metric/inch conversion and zero-setting at any point. Advanced models with IP67 ratings provide dustproof and waterproof protection for challenging work environments, while optional carbide-tipped jaws on some Mitutoyo vernier calipers enhance wear resistance for measuring harder materials.

Materials Mitutoyo Calipers Are Made From

Accu's selection of Mitutoyo digital calipers and verniers is crafted from hardened stainless steel, ensuring durability, corrosion resistance and long-term dimensional stability.
