Mitutoyo 122-151 Blade Micrometer, Carbide-Tipped Blade 1", 0.4mm Blade

Part Number: Mitutoyo 122-151

The Mitutoyo 122-151 blade micrometer features blade-shaped anvil and spindle faces with a 0.4 mm carbide-tipped blade that reaches into grooves, keyways and narrow slots where a flat-faced micrometer cannot. It measures 0"–1" (0–25.4 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 reading to land on the shoulder instead of the feature itself. The Mitutoyo 122-151 solves this with blade-shaped anvil and spindle faces designed to reach the bottom of the groove.

Because the spindle does not rotate, the blade stays parallel to the slot as it closes and helps prevent twisting or scoring of the part. The 0.4 mm carbide-tipped blade provides resistance to wear and chipping when measuring hard or abrasive materials.

With a measuring range of 0"–1" (0–25.4 mm) and 0.0001" graduation, the Mitutoyo 122-151 is well suited to keyways, O-ring and circlip grooves, splines and narrow slots on small shafts. QC inspectors can use this type of blade micrometer for shaft and seal inspection.

Keep the contact faces clean and store the Mitutoyo 122-151 in its case between jobs. In hot Kuwait workshops, allow the part to cool before precision measurement. At 25.4 mm, a 10 °C temperature difference can move a steel part by roughly 2.9 μm, which is greater than the instrument's 0.0001" graduation.

For the same 0"–1" range with a 0.75 mm hardened steel blade, see the Mitutoyo 122-125.

Key Benefits

• 0.0001" graduation — provides a clear analogue reading without batteries.

• Durable blade — carbide-tipped construction resists abrasion and wear.

• Consistent force — ratchet stop helps maintain consistent measuring pressure.

• Trusted Mitutoyo design — Series 122 mechanical blade micrometer for precision inspection work.

• Reaches narrow features — blade faces measure groove floors, keyways and slots directly.

• Non-rotating spindle — keeps the blade aligned with the slot and helps prevent twisting against the part.

Who This Product Is Best For

• Machinists measuring keyways.

• Pump, motor and gearbox rebuild shops checking seal and circlip grooves.

• QC inspectors verifying groove diameters against engineering drawings.

• Maintenance teams looking for a battery-free precision measuring tool.

• Buyers who need blade faces instead of a conventional flat-anvil outside micrometer.

How to Use

1. Clean the blades and check zero on the anvil.

2. Align the blades with the groove or keyway so they sit squarely against the feature.

3. Close gently using the ratchet stop until it clicks.

4. Read the sleeve and thimble graduations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What range does the Mitutoyo 122-151 blade micrometer measure?

It measures 0"–1" (0–25.4 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 0"–1"?

Choose a range that brackets the groove diameter. The Mitutoyo 122-125 also covers 0"–1" and features a 0.75 mm hardened steel blade.

Can it be recalibrated?

Yes. The Mitutoyo 122-151 can be periodically recalibrated through an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited calibration service to maintain measurement traceability.
