Mitutoyo 506-204 Vernier Height Gauge, 0-250mm Range, 0.02mm Resolution, +/- 0.04mm Accuracy, 1.3kg Mass

The Mitutoyo 506-204 stainless steel vernier height gauge has a metric measurement range of 0 to 250mm, a precision of 0.02mm, an accuracy of + or – 0.04mm, a hand-operated slider with fine-adjustment carriage, a carbide-tipped scriber, and a grip-base design. A calibrated screw mechanism supports fine, uniform slider adjustments. The satin chrome finish on the scales resists rust and is glare-free. The hardened stainless steel beam and slide provides durability. The gauge is lightweight with an ergonomically-shaped base for ease of handling when measuring small parts. The gauge dimensions are 380 x 60 x 100cm/15 x 2.4 x 4 inches (H x W x D). (H is height, the vertical distance from lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back). The included scriber, used to mark position on the workpiece, is carbide-tipped for hardness and durability. The height gauge also comes with a scriber clamp.

Height gauges, sometimes referred to as gages, are precision measuring instruments that travel on a vertical column (also called the beam) to measure and/or mark the vertical distance from the base of an object in fine units. The vertical position of the gauge and its attached pointer are changed by turning a calibrated screw, or one or more feed wheels. Recorded rotations are read from a scale, a dial, counters, and/or an electronic display. A screw clamp holds the pointer to the gauge. The pointer is typically sharpened to act as a scriber, and can be used to mark a position on a workpiece by scratching its surface. On compatible units, the scriber may be replaced by an electronic touch-signal probe. Height gauges are typically used in manufacturing, machining, and mechanical engineering.

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.
