Mitutoyo 543-282B Absolute Digimatic Indicator, ID-C Type, Inch/Metric, #4-48 UNF Thread, 3/8" Stem Dia., Flat Back, 0-0.5" (0-12.7mm Range), 0.00005" (0.001mm) Resolution, +/-0.00012" Accuracy, Meets IP54 Specifications

The Mitutoyo 543-282B Absolute Digimatic electronic indicator gauge, ID-C series, is for measuring short, linear distances in mechanical engineering, machining, and manufacturing applications in harsh environments. It has a measurement range of 0 to 0.5" (0 to 12.7mm), a resolution of 0.00005" (0.001mm), and an accuracy of + or - 0.00012". The LCD screen displays measurements in inches and metric units. The indicator has a go/no-go display that lights green or red, respectively, when upper and/or lower tolerances have been set. This unit has a 3/8" diameter stem and a #4-48 UNF contact point thread mount. It has a flat back for stem mounting or plate mounting on the rear of the indicator. An Absolute electrostatic capacitance-type linear encoder helps prevent overspeed errors and ensure accurate measurements. This model is Ingress Protection certified IP54 for protection against dust and water.

Additional functions for this indicator include remote control, max/min/runout value holding, origin set, preset, zero set, counting direction switching, and alerts for low voltage, counting value composition, overflow, and tolerance limit setting errors. The measuring force is 2.0 Newtons (N) or less. This unit comes with a built-in power cord with exposed wires at the end for wiring into a device such as a programmable logic controller (PLC) (sold separately) for power and communications. This gauge can output the judgment signal using the included 4m cable.

H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point with stem at rest; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.

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.
