Mitutoyo 227-213-20 | ABSOLUTE Digital Adjustable Measuring Force Micrometer | Inch/Metric, Range .6 - 1.2" (15.24 - 30.48 mm)
Part Number: Mitutoyo 227-213-20
The Mitutoyo 227-213-20 adjustable force micrometer lets you set the measuring force in stages (0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 N) so soft and thin parts can be measured without being squeezed out of shape. It covers 0.6"–1.2" (15.24–30.48 mm) with an ABSOLUTE digital display and a fast 10 mm-per-turn spindle. Request a quote in under a minute: call or WhatsApp +965 9807 4888.
A standard micrometer applies a fixed force that is suitable for many rigid materials but can distort very soft or delicate parts. The Mitutoyo 227-213-20 adjustable force micrometer addresses this with selectable force settings, allowing operators to use a controlled measuring pressure appropriate for the material.
The spindle does not rotate, so the faces do not twist or scuff the part, and it feeds 10 mm per turn, providing fast movement between different sizes. The ABSOLUTE encoder holds its origin at power-on and resolves to 0.00005" / 0.001 mm with Inch/Metric switching.
Typical work includes very soft or delicate parts such as rubber seals, O-rings, foam, thin plastic film, fine wire and thin-wall tubing. This makes it suitable for machine shops and incoming inspection of polymer and elastomer components.
For the best results, let the Mitutoyo 227-213-20 adjustable force micrometer and the part reach the same temperature before measuring. Steel expands about 11.5 μm per metre per °C, so at 30.5 mm a 10 °C temperature difference can shift the reading by around 3.5 μm.
Need a smaller range at the same force? The Mitutoyo 227-211-20 covers 0"–0.6". For firmer parts requiring 2–10 N, compare the Mitutoyo 227-215-20.

Frequently Asked Questions
What range does the Mitutoyo 227-213-20 adjustable force micrometer cover?
It measures 0.6"–1.2" (15.24–30.48 mm) with Inch/Metric switching.
What measuring force settings are available?
The force is adjustable in stages: 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 and 2.5 N.
Why use an adjustable force micrometer?
Soft or thin parts can compress under a standard micrometer's measuring force and produce an undersize reading. A low, controlled force helps provide consistent measurements between operators.
Does the spindle rotate?
No. The non-rotating spindle feeds 10 mm per turn, so the measuring faces do not twist against the part.
Which model should I choose if my part is outside 0.6"–1.2"?
Choose the model according to the required part size and measuring force. The Mitutoyo 227-211-20 covers 0"–0.6" in the same force group. For the other force band, see the Mitutoyo 227-215-20.
Can it be recalibrated?
Yes. The Mitutoyo 227-213-20 adjustable force micrometer can be recalibrated periodically through an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited calibration service to help maintain measurement traceability.
