Mitutoyo 122-126 Blade Micrometer, Hardened Steel Blade 1-2", 0.75mm Blade
Part Number: Mitutoyo 122-126
The Mitutoyo 122-126 blade micrometer features blade-shaped anvil and spindle faces that reach into grooves, keyways and narrow slots where a flat-faced micrometer cannot. It measures 1"–2" (25.4–50.8 mm) with 0.0001" graduation. Request a quote in under a minute - call or WhatsApp +965 9807 4888.
Flat micrometer faces can be too wide for grooves, keyways and narrow slots, causing the measurement to land on the shoulder instead of the feature itself. The Mitutoyo 122-126 solves this with blade-shaped anvil and spindle faces designed to reach the bottom of the groove.
The non-rotating spindle keeps the blade parallel to the slot as it closes, helping prevent twisting or scoring of the part. Its 0.75 mm hardened steel blade is designed for durability in regular workshop use.
With a measuring range of 1"–2" (25.4–50.8 mm) and 0.0001" graduation, the Mitutoyo 122-126 is suitable for groove diameters on pump and motor shafts, seal grooves and keyways on medium drive shafts. It is useful for machine shops, shaft inspection and maintenance applications.
For best results, allow the Mitutoyo 122-126 and the part to reach the same temperature before measuring. Steel expands about 11.5 μm per metre per °C, so at 50.8 mm, a 10 °C temperature difference can shift the reading by approximately 5.8 μm.
For larger groove diameters, the Mitutoyo 122-127 covers the 2"–3" range.

Frequently Asked Questions
What range does the Mitutoyo 122-126 blade micrometer measure?
It measures 1"–2" (25.4–50.8 mm) with 0.0001" graduation.
What is a blade micrometer used for?
It is used to measure groove diameters, keyways, splines and narrow slots where a conventional flat-faced micrometer cannot reach the feature.
Why is the spindle non-rotating?
The non-rotating spindle keeps the blade parallel to the slot while closing. This helps prevent the blade from twisting out of the groove and reduces the risk of scoring the part.
Hardened steel or carbide-tipped blade: which do I need?
Hardened steel is suitable for most general measurement work. Carbide-tipped blades offer greater resistance to abrasion and chipping, which can be useful on hard or abrasive materials and in heavy-use inspection environments.
Which blade micrometer should I choose if my groove is outside 1"–2"?
Choose a range that brackets the groove diameter. The Mitutoyo 122-125 covers 0"–1", while the Mitutoyo 122-127 covers 2"–3".
Can it be recalibrated?
Yes. The Mitutoyo 122-126 can be periodically recalibrated through an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited calibration service to maintain measurement traceability.
