It covers 0.8\"–1.2\" (20.32–30.48 mm) with an ABSOLUTE digital display and a fast 10 mm-per-turn spindle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA standard micrometer applies a fixed force that works well for hardened steel but can distort parts that deform under measurement pressure. The Mitutoyo 227-217-20 solves this by allowing the operator to select a controlled measuring force, helping maintain consistent measurement conditions between operators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe spindle does not rotate, so the measuring faces meet the part without twisting or scuffing it. With 10 mm feed per revolution, it provides fast spindle travel for efficient measurement. The ABSOLUTE encoder provides 0.00005\" \/ 0.001 mm resolution with Inch\/Metric switching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypical applications include plastic mouldings, gaskets, springs, thin-wall tubing, coated components, polymer parts, and elastomer components. It is suitable for machine shops, QC inspection, incoming inspection, maintenance work, and applications where controlled measuring force is important.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the best results, allow the Mitutoyo 227-217-20 and the workpiece to reach the same temperature before precision measurement. Temperature differences can affect dimensional readings, particularly when moving parts between hot workshop areas and cooled inspection rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a smaller range at the same force, the Mitutoyo 227-216-20 covers 0.4\"–0.8\".
