Description
Product Overview
The Mitutoyo 146-101 is a highly specialized Groove Micrometer designed for inspecting features that standard calipers or micrometers cannot accurately reach.
Instead of standard flat anvils, this tool features Flanged Spindles (disc-shaped measuring faces). This unique design allows the measuring faces to slip inside a bore to precisely measure the width, depth, and location of internal O-ring grooves, circlip seats, and undercuts. It is equally capable of measuring external groove widths on shafts.+1
- Dual Graduations: Because the thickness of the flanges changes the baseline measurement depending on how you use it, the barrel features two separate types of graduations—one scale for Inside (ID) measurements and one for Outside (OD) measurements.
- Two-Directional Ratchet: It features a specialized two-directional ratchet stop on a non-rotating spindle. This ensures that you apply a consistent measuring force (0.7 – 1.2N) whether you are expanding the discs against an inside groove or clamping them against an outside groove.+1
- Hardened Faces: The flanged measuring faces are hardened and precision-ground to maintain accuracy over a long lifespan of scraping against steel bores.
Condition
Used (Complete Set).
This groove micrometer is in used condition but comes as a complete, ready-to-inspect package.
- Included: It is safely stored in its original Mitutoyo fitted case with the factory paperwork. Critically, it includes the Setting Tool (master gauge block), which is absolutely essential for calibrating and verifying the zero-point of the flanged faces before use.
Brand Information
Mitutoyo Corporation (est. 1934) is the global benchmark for dimensional metrology. Their specialty micrometers, like the 146 Series, are prized in aerospace, hydraulic, and automotive shops for their flawless thimble action and ability to hold tight tolerances where cheaper tools fail.
