Mitutoyo 500-197-30 Digimatic Caliper | 8" IP-65 Coolant Proof

Built for demanding environments where ordinary calipers fail. The Mitutoyo 500-197-30 Digimatic Caliper brings Mitutoyo's legendary precision to an 8-inch (200mm) measuring range, wrapped in a fully IP-65 rated housing that protects against coolant, cutting fluids, and dust — making it the ideal precision instrument for wet and harsh shop floor conditions.

The IP-65 rated protection system is the key differentiator of the 500-197-30. This rating certifies full protection against dust ingress and protection against low-pressure water jets from any direction — meaning this caliper can handle coolant spray, wash-down environments, and heavy shop floor use without compromising accuracy or display function. The AOS absolute encoder retains zero origin without battery power, and the stainless steel body with hardened jaw faces maintains dimensional stability through temperature variation and repeated use. Resolution of 0.0005"/0.01mm with ±0.001"/±0.02mm accuracy across the full 8-inch range.

Ideal for horizontal machining centers, CNC lathes, grinding operations, and any precision measurement application where coolant or fluid contamination is a concern. Includes protective case, battery, and SPC data output.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does IP-65 protection mean for this caliper?

IP-65 means the caliper is fully dust-tight and protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction — including coolant and cutting fluid spray in active machining environments.

How does the 500-197-30 differ from the 500-196-30?

The 500-197-30 has a larger 8" measuring range and full IP-65 coolant protection. The 500-196-30 is a standard 6" model without IP rating — ideal for non-coolant environments.
