Mitutoyo analog vernier caliper with sliding upper jaw, measuring range 0-150 mm, vernier 0.05 mm, vernier caliper with sliding jaw

Description

Mitutoyo vernier caliper with sliding measuring jaw, 0-150 mm, reading 0.05 mm is the specialized vernier caliper for measuring details that a fixed-jaw vernier caliper cannot reach: stepped surfaces, recessed flanges, the base of a raised feature on a casting, the underside of a weld bead, or any location where a jaw must pass by an obstruction that a standard vernier caliper would collide with. The sliding upper jaw is the design difference — it glides along a track on the vernier caliper beam, allowing the operator to position it past a step or around a feature instead of being locked directly against the lower jaw.

This is a workshop tool first — a reading of 0.05 mm is the standard vernier caliper resolution and the accuracy class is suitable for general manufacturing, casting, and weld inspection rather than calibration laboratory work. Where a standard vernier caliper would need to be replaced by a depth gauge or height gauge to reach a recessed detail, the sliding-jaw vernier caliper completes the measurement in a single pickup. This single-tool versatility is the reason manufacturing workshops keep the sliding-jaw vernier caliper on the bench alongside their standard set.

The vernier reading is an intentional choice for this tool family — it is a no-battery, no-condensation, no-fault mechanical reading that withstands years on a manufacturing bench without service. Reading a vernier is a learned skill, but for the experienced manufacturer, the reading time is no slower than a digital display, and the absence of power dependency is what makes the tool a permanent workshop fixture. The 0.05 mm resolution is the standard vernier graduation matched to the measuring range.

Common applications: weld bead base width measurement on a manufactured assembly, casting flange inspection past a raised feature, jig and fixture stepped surface dimensioning during setup, and any one-off measurement where a recessed or stepped detail would otherwise require multiple tools. Sales team contact (catalog note) is the right path for buyers who need the exact sliding-jaw geometry — the specialized nature of the tool means that the right choice depends on the measurement scenario.
