Mitutoyo 527-402 Vernier Depth Gauge, Hook End Type, Caliper Type, 0-200mm Range, 0.05mm Graduation, +/-0.05mm Accuracy

The Mitutoyo Series 527 Vernier Depth Gauges, Hook End Type, Metric, depending on the model, have a measurement range of 0 to 150mm, a resolution (or smallest graduation interval) of 0.05mm, with + or – 0.05mm of accuracy; 0 to 200mm, a resolution or 0.05mm, with + or – 0.05mm of accuracy; or a range of 0 to 300mm, a resolution of 0.05mm, with + or – 0.08mm of accuracy. The vernier scale provides precise measurements. The end of the main scale is hook-shaped to allow depth and thickness measurements of a projected portion or lip in a hole, in addition to standard depth measurements. These gauges are made of hardened stainless steel and the bases of the units (100mm long) and measuring faces are hardened and lapped for accuracy. An optional wider extension base is sold separately. Depth gauges are typically used in manufacturing, machining, and mechanical engineering.

Depth gauges are precision measuring instruments used to determine the depth of any shape that has a step, groove, or slot. These gauges often take the form of sliders that travel on a measuring beam or rods, are moved to position by hand, and then adjusted with a calibrated screw. The base of the gauge rests at the top of the shape whose recession is to be measured, while the beam or rods extend to the bottom of the recession to determine the measurement. Gauge position is read from a graduated scale, dial, counters, or an electronic display.

Mitutoyo manufactures precision measuring tools, metrology equipment, and related systems. The company, founded in Tokyo in 1934, formed Mitutoyo America Corporation in 1963 with headquarters in Aurora, IL.
