Mitutoyo Standard Type Alloy Tool Steel Micrometer Head

The Mitutoyo MHS4-13A Standard Type Micrometer Head 0-13 mm Measuring Range 15426786, also known as a micrometer screw gauge head, represents a critical precision measuring device utilized in engineering, manufacturing, and research fields. This highly reliable instrument is designed to measure linear displacements with exceptional accuracy and repeatability. Its versatility allows for integration into various measurement setups and instruments, enhancing their overall precision capabilities. The standard type micrometer head features a robust construction with a threaded spindle that moves linearly within the head's housing. The spindle is equipped with a precision-ground anvil, typically located at its end. To perform a measurement, the micrometer head is mounted onto the object being measured, and the spindle is advanced or retracted by rotating the head's thimble. One of the key advantages of the standard type micrometer head lies in its fine resolution, often achieved through a high-quality screw thread. This enables the instrument to provide accurate measurements down to sub-micrometer levels. Additionally, the micrometer head may include a Vernier scale or a digital readout, offering users a clear and easy-to-read measurement display. The secure and stable clamping mechanism of the micrometer head ensures consistent measurement conditions, minimizing any potential movement or play during the measuring process. This attribute significantly contributes to obtaining precise and repeatable readings. Proper maintenance and regular calibration are paramount to uphold the accuracy and longevity of the standard type micrometer head. Cleaning of the measuring surfaces, appropriate storage, and periodic calibration against traceable standards are fundamental practices to ensure the integrity of its measurements.
