The Mitutoyo 575-123 Absolute Digimatic electronic indicator gauge, ID-U series, is for measuring short, linear distances in mechanical engineering, machining, and manufacturing applications. It has a measurement range of 1.0" (0 to 25.4mm), a resolution of 0.0005" (0.01mm), and an accuracy of + or - 0.0008". The LCD screen, with a character height of 8mm, displays measurements in inches and metric units. This unit has a 23mm depth and the battery has a life of approximately 20,000 hours, making this indicator suitable for installation into measuring devices. An Absolute electrostatic capacitance-type linear encoder helps prevent overspeed errors and ensure accurate measurements. This model is Ingress Protection certified IP42 for protection against objects greater than 1mm and dripping water.
Additional functions for this indicator include origin set, zero set, counting direction switching, and alerts for low voltage, counting value composition, and overflow errors. This unit has a 3/8" diameter stem, a #4-48 UNF contact point thread mount, and a flat back for stem or plate mounting. The measuring force is 1.8 Newtons (N) or less. This unit comes with a SR-44 battery. This gauge offers serial data output (using optional SPC cables, sold separately), which increases speed and reliability of digital measurement records.

Dial indicators are also called dial gauges, probe, and electronic indicators. These precision instruments measure small linear distances and object sizes. The dial magnifies the measurement so that it can be easily read by the human eye. Frequently used in manufacturing, laboratories, and other industrial or mechanical fields, dial indicators are used anywhere a small measurement must be found and recorded or transferred, such as checking the variation in tolerance of a workpiece. Standard dial indicators measure the displacement along the axis of the indicator. Dial test indicators are very similar to dial indicators, except that the axis of measurement is perpendicular to the axis of the indicator. Dial and dial test indicators can be analog, with a mechanical dial, or electronic, with a digital display. Some electronic models transfer the data electronically to a computer for recording and potential manipulation.
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.
