Description

The MITUTOYO 547-500S is an electronic thickness gage designed for precise material thickness measurement across a range of 0 to 12mm, with a resolution of 0.01mm and accuracy to 0.001 inches. It uses Digimatic technology with an Absolute (ABS) linear scale, eliminating the need to reset the origin after powering on. The ceramic anvil face and flat contact geometry deliver repeatable, low-distortion readings at a controlled measuring force of 1.5 N. A grip handle and waterproof data output connector make it well suited for use in both shop and field environments. SPC output capabilities allow direct integration with statistical process control systems.

This gage is used in quality control and dimensional inspection applications where accurate thickness readings on sheet metal, gaskets, plastics, rubber, composites, or similar flat materials are required. It is appropriate for use in manufacturing, fabrication, and metrology environments. The waterproof data output connector supports connection to data loggers or SPC software, making it a practical choice for production-line inspection routines. Installation and commissioning require no special tools beyond a standard SR44 battery, which is included.

Key Features

Absolute (ABS) linear scale retains position data through power cycles, no re-zeroing required at startup
Digimatic technology with SPC output for direct data capture and statistical process control integration
Ceramic anvil face resists wear and corrosion for long service life under repeated contact
1.5 N measuring force minimizes deflection on soft or compressible materials
Waterproof data output connector supports use in wet or coolant-present environments
Flat contact geometry with 12mm anvil face diameter ensures stable readings on flat stock

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision thickness gage suitable for dimensional inspection of flat materials including sheet stock, gaskets, and thin-walled components in manufacturing and quality assurance workflows.

Installation Notes

This instrument requires no permanent installation. Insert the included SR44 battery before first use and verify zero calibration on a known reference standard prior to measurement. Handle the ceramic anvil faces with care to avoid chipping, which would affect measurement accuracy. Follow applicable metrology lab or shop quality procedures for gage calibration intervals and handling.
